I grabbed some tissues from the box sitting on the end table and wiped at my face. After calming down, I looked to the officer sitting on the couch. “I’m sorry, Dan, right?”
“Yes, ma’am, I’m sorry for your loss.”
“Thank you, can I get you anything, a drink?” I was pretty sure that I could use a drink at this moment, but didn’t mention that. My mother had been the consummate hostess, and she’d ingrained those traits in me.
“No, ma’am, is there anything you need? Anyone else I should contact?”
“No, thanks, Dan, Luke and I will take care of that.”
The officer nodded and stood from the couch. “I got all the information I needed from Luke, but needed to make contact with you. May I call you if I have any further questions?”
“Yes, thank you so much, Dan.” I walked to the side table and grabbed a business card for Indulgence out of my handbag and wrote my cell number on the back, then handed it to the officer.
“Thank you. I am sorry ma’am, Luke; if there’s anything I can do to help, please give me a call.” He handed me his business card in return, Luke and Dan exchanged the strange male head nod greeting and Dan left.
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do; should I call someone, the team, the funeral home?” I felt like I needed a task, something to do to keep my mind busy; maybe I should cook something, or make some arrangements. I knew that my mind has been in panic mode, just trying to busy itself with anything other than this pain.
“No, the police department is taking care of everything at Nolan’s, I’ll call the guys. Do you mind if I change? I’ve got some clothes in my truck.”
“Luke, you don’t have to stay with me, I’ll be all right.” My breath hitched with the words ‘all right’ and Luke caught it. His faint smile and shake of his head was all I needed to see that he didn’t buy it.
“I’ll be right back; I’m just going to my truck.” Luke stood from the loveseat, displacing Sadie’s head. She grunted and moved toward me, filling the space that Luke left as best as she could. I stroked her soft gray and white fur and cuddled her close.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anna Scott is an author of romance novels and erotic shorts. The books Anna loves to write swirl around an underlying theme of love, challenge, imminent heartbreak and always end with at least the possibility of a Happily Ever After.
In her youth, Anna would frequently stay awake into the early hours of the morning, typing on an old typewriter. Horrific stories of blood, murder, and suicide, plagued her young mind until they had to be released onto the page. Her love of writing started at this early age, but over the years, her work changed from the twisted and morbid to the lascivious and pleasurable.
Anna attended college in Northern California, after growing up in the Midwest. She worked in the world of finance until eventually abandoning the suits for a cup of coffee and her laptop.
Today, Anna can be found in her comfortable, red armchair, coffee in hand, staring out at the surrounding fields, dreaming up new and decadent stories. Her love of reading, nature, and history have her mind in constant motion, conjuring up new ideas.
She shares her life with an alpha male of her own, a family and many animals. Anna is known to stop everything at the drop of a hat to rescue an animal, often driving long distances, she would love to gather, protect and love them all back to enjoying a wonderful life.
Anna began to publish her books, thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend. This special person is always a support, encouraging Anna at every turn. She helps to focus Anna’s mind when the many facets of writing get to be too much.
