" It was early when Tom arrived at police headquarters – ‘the office’ as he always referred to it. He was determined to beat Becky to it. He was going to wait and see how long it took her to come and find him, her tail between her legs. He grinned. What she had done last night had been inappropriate to say the least, but he was so very glad she had gone out on a limb for him "
