Chapter 17

Lachlan Carter joined the cast as the new chief of police. He was only a few years older than I was, and his character was supposed to be some hotshot transfer from another precinct. He and Murphy Rourke, Lucas’s character, were written to be at odds with each other pretty much the entire time. And considering the way that Lachlan eyed Aaron, I didn’t think it was going to be difficult for Lucas to play that with believability. Of course, he made a pass at me, too. And Mary Alice as well. Lachlan had a reputation of fucking anyone that caught his fancy, so even if I hadn’t been semi-committed to Vincent and half-way in the closet, I wouldn’t have taken him up on his come-hither looks.
