Debra Burroughs - Paradise Valley 04.5 - the Color of Lies
“Colin said, “while the shooting was investigated.”
“Sounds typical.” Ernie nodded. “They have to make sure it was a righteous shoot.”
“Yeah, I get that, but it was hard to watch my partner and the others out working the streets and solving cases.” Colin pressed his back against the chair and looked directly at Ernie. “At least it gave me time to think about my relationship with Miranda, and where we were headed.”
“You mean marriage?”
“Yes, marriage, children—you know, all that.”
Ernie grinned. “I remember when I proposed to Martha. I was scared spitless.”
“It’s a scary thing. You want to get it right. So, one night I phoned my dad and talked to him about Miranda, marriage, the whole nine yards. I even asked him if he thought she would marry me if I proposed.”
~*~ “Son, the only way you’ll know is to ask the girl,” his dad said.
So, Colin decided he would take Miranda to a nice dinner, then they would go to his favorite spot with a spectacular view of the Golden Gate bridge.
