Molly rolled her eyes. “Well, since I still have my Detonics all safe and snug in a box on the top shelf of a closet, I guess I can’t say much. Oh yes, I returned Mrs. Garcia’s call. She said that Dr. Loo sends her love, that she’s planning on spring skiing.”
“What did she say about Emma?”
“She’s pleased. She thinks it would be good for Emma to travel again. She’s still very encouraged with the progress Emma’s making. For now, she says that Emma’s talked about it enough, and, in her own way, is ready to move on.”
“Thank God for that. Am I spoiling her too rotten, Molly?”
“Nah, she’s got a good head on her shoulders. She’s spoiling you, actually. Imagine her running down here to the kitchen to make you some toast this morning so you wouldn’t have to get your feet cold on the tile.”
He laughed. “There are still crumbs in the bed. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. You know how the district judges get their cases through the random lottery system? I just got handed another big-time drug case. I hope this one has a different ending than the last one.”
“I think I’ll hang out in the courtroom, just to make sure nobody tries anything.”
He kissed her ear, her chin, the tip of her nose. “Emma spoils me and you protect me.” He leaned back in the chair and gave her a big grin. “What more could a guy ask for?”
The End
