I look into his eyes, smiling brightly.[color=#DB7093]”When is the traditional cooling-off period between dates?”[/color] I ask them. I was pretty flexible with my time unless I was on an active case.

[color=#006400]”I don’t think I have to worry about that [i]mein kleiner Kobold[/i],”[/color] I say, my voice laced with unwavering confidence, and rest a hand on their leg. I’m certain that I have done enough to secure Nero for a while. I concentrate on driving and slow down as Avery and the SUV come into view. He picked a good, secluded location that wouldn’t have too many eyes.

I push away from the vehicle and open up the front passenger door for Nero. I smile at them as they get out. [color=#B0C4DE]”How was supper?”[/color] I ask Nero. I know I hadn’t known Nero for very long or that well, but I saw what they did for Caden. That alone showed me they were good — even though they were a demon. Caden was always a good judge of character, and that was usually fine by me. Usually.
