EXT. - KINSEY'S APARTMENT to INT. - COLLECTIVE OFFICE - AFTERNOON

Kinsey parked in her usual spot, but her mind wasn't on the small rectangle she claimed as her own near the door to her condo complex. Instead, she only had focus for the tall, brooding redhead who perched on the top step to the front door, long legs stretched out in front of her. Kinsey slipped out of the convertible, the sound of the alarm arming beeping behind her as she tucked her laptop bag strap over her shoulder and approached Gerri with a measure of caution.

She hadn't seen her detective friend since they left the All Souls Collective the night before. And, from the rumpled look to the redhead, she hadn't gotten a wink of sleep since then. Kinsey set down her paper bag of groceries and joined Gerri on the step, knowing the other tenants would be likely calling the cops to report them loitering any minute now.

Kinsey just had to let her grandmother bully her into a high-priced condo complex.
