A Case of the Heart

“What are we doing?” She watched suspiciously as the cop on the other side of the cage took out a gun and set it on the counter. “Target practice.” He didn’t look up. “What did you say?” He stopped filling out a form and turned to her. “I know how you feel about guns, but you should at least know how to shoot one.” “But I don’t want to learn to how to shoot a gun. I couldn’t shoot anyone, ever, so what’s the point?” She lifted her hands and shoulders in an emphatic shrug. Alex fixed his eyes on hers. “Never?” “I can’t imagine,” she answered, taken aback. “If it was self-defense, like it always is with you, and it was you or the other guy?” She crossed her arms over her chest. “You’re awfully sure of me.” “Yes, I am.” Their eyes locked for a moment and she felt a shiver. But she had the feeling he wasn’t just talking about the gun. |
