Hearing that Lottie had to spend a night in jail the night of the fire had come as a surprise. She’d only recently returned to Verona. What the hell could she have done to get her ass thrown in jail. When he went back to work after taking a day off to recover, he shot off a text telling her to come to his office. As the day passed and she failed to turn up, he only got more irritated. When she finally showed, he was more than a little annoyed.
“I’m doing fine. Was just a bit sore yesterday and needed to spend some time with Sam. Thank you for asking. Now, can you explain to me how in God’s name you landed your butt in jail?”
His initial reply was fairly calm and so she began to think maybe he wasn’t annoyed with her but then his tone changed and she knew he had indeed heard everything. “I didn’t do anything,” she exclaimed quickly, her eyes wide and innocent as she was actually telling the truth this time. “The Commander is an ass and still pissed that you got me off his dumb charges before the summer. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time on Thursday morning.”
