“Noooo.”
“Yes, ma’am. They came up with the plan together.”
“How did you figure it out?”
“I had this feeling the bank president might have been involved. She was nonchalant in her interview. It seemed practiced. Then she and the suspect used the exact same wording when I asked how she thought he made it past security undetected.”
“Is she married?”
“She is, but she won’t be for long. Her husband is devastated by the betrayal. At first he couldn’t believe it, but I think deep inside he knew she had been cheating. Most spouses know when they’ve been cheated on. They just don’t want to admit it.”
“Unfortunately, I see way too much of it. But I’m proud of you for solving your case.”
He rubbed my back. “I love you. Thank you for being so supportive.”
“Albeit reluctantly.”
“You know I’m ready to quit anytime you ask. I could become Mr. Mom once the baby arrives in a few months.”
“If that’s what you want.”
“What will the guys at the country club think of me?”
I laughed. “You don’t even go to the country club.”
“Maybe I’ll start.”
“Grady wouldn’t mind. I think he could use some time away from home. Alison is in major nesting mode and she’s decided the kitchen should be remodeled before she delivers next month.”
He chuckled. “Maybe I’ll see if he wants to do a round of eighteen this weekend.”
“He would appreciate it, and I can take Hank to the movies or something. He’s still not sure if he wants a baby sister, and he’s disappointed we’re giving him a girl cousin.”
“Someday he won’t mind being overtaken by women.”
“Is that how you see me?”
“You completely blindsided me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Is that so?”
“You hit me hard, baby, and I’ve never recovered.”
“At least I’m not running.”
“Even if you were, I would still be chasing you.”
“I love you.”
“I know.”
