“Hamilton,” he answered.
“Oh yeah? There was? You did? She does? Okay, let me ask her.”
Smothering the phone in his shoulder, he leaned closer and stage-whispered.
“It’s one of the officers assigned to your house. He said a couple nights ago, a small cat came scratching at the sliding glass door. Kept running up a tree every time the officer got near it, but he finally coaxed it down with milk and cat food. His daughter’s been clamoring for a kitty for ages, so he took it home. Wants to know if that’s okay.”
Lori choked out a garbled laugh.
Mr. Giggles had a new family.
“Tell him it’s fine,” she said. “I’m glad he went to a good home.”
Davis relayed the message and holstered his phone.
“So, what are you going to do now?” he asked.
“Without the cat?” Lori shrugged. “Clean my house. My allergies were going haywire.”
“Not about the cat. I mean, what are you going to do?”
“Oh.” Lori chewed on her lower lip for a second. “I’m going to open a talent agency. I can’t do much running around until this cast comes off, but I can start the process in the meantime. Draw up a business plan, register the agency with the state, make some business cards, that sort of thing. Know anyone artsy who could help with the logo?”
Davis snorted. “Just ask.”
Lori twisted to face him. “How about you? What are you going to do?”
He shrugged and pulled up at a red light. “Maybe take up residence in the Shell Motel next to Auntie Lou’s diner. Not a bad part of town.”
“Wrong.” She punched him in the shoulder. “You can stay with me until you figure everything out.”
Smiling, he leaned closer. “I already know what I want,” he whispered against her lips. He kissed her until the cars behind them started honking.
Lori glanced up. “Green light, Hamilton.”
The car rolled forward again.
“By the way, where are we going?” she asked.
Davis grinned.
“Tiki Nation, of course. Two margaritas and a pink mustang, coming right up.”
