Ken sat across from him, beginning to eat rather than responding to Sean’s comment.


“Are you…? Never mind,” Sean said, after they both finished eating.


“Umm. Worried about going back to see Cox?”


Ken shrugged, quickly getting up to clear the table. “I’ll admit I’m concerned that what we have on him so far might not be enough. We won’t know for certain until Jonah goes through the files you took.”


“True,” Sean replied, feeling defeated. He had hoped by asking, Ken might say something about what Sean thought was really bothering him. He was very certain it wasn’t the job.


But then, I’m probably reading my own fears into things. I think…no, I know I’d like to see if there could be something more than sex between us. Although what was basically a…one-night stand I guess, hardly counts as even that.


“I’m going to call Cox’s office to let him know we’re coming.”
