MATHESON HAD GONE HOME, Ms. Parker had left for a doctor’s appointment, and the afternoon drifted by. My office was quiet, and a glance at the clock on my computer showed it was almost seven.
Well, I guessed it was time to go home myself. Going home. In the last year or so… and okay, who was I kidding? It was a year, four months, and twenty days since we’d talked about Quinn moving in with me, and ten days less since he actually had. Right now, though, he wasn’t there. He’d received a call from his publisher the week before about the possibility of a book signing once his book came out, so he was up in New York for a few days to sort it out.
