Just a Little Embrace
“It hadn’t gone any better than the day before. And now, with those two runs in my past, I only had eight hours left in my job shadowing stint before Luke and I would have to part ways….
I dropped by the station at noon to invite Charlie to lunch, though I masked a hidden agenda. I’d hoped to catch Luke as he stopped in before lunch, but as far as I could tell, he was nowhere to be found. His patrol car was missing from the lot, and there was no sign of his eventual return.
“Hey there, p...umpkin,” Charlie said, leaning against his office doorframe. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Hey,” I smiled. “You’ve just been working so much lately,” I said, throwing a glance over my shoulder, “thought maybe you’d like to take a break and have lunch?”
“No can do, sweet pea,” he said. “Had an early lunch. Today’s been a day from hell—”
“Yeah, okay,”MoreLess
