Capítulo 39: Chase

The civic fair at the library comes together perfectly, of course, because Livia Ward is perfect and amazing at her job and also this little city can step pretty lively when it wants to. The Corinth parking lot has been cleared of cars and is currently hosting fire trucks, ambulances, police cars and several stalls from local businesses and restaurants, handing out coupons and ice cream and balloon animals for the kids.

I was nervous about my presentation at the beginning of the fair, even though I’m generally pretty confident when it comes to these kinds of things, but usually if I’m giving a presentation, it’s at a meeting full of city employees and other cops. Not in front of real, honest to God civilians, and not in front of my sister and not in front of the woman who is pregnant with my child.

The woman I can’t get enough of, no matter how hard I try. The woman who is breaking down every single fucking wall I have.
