It Takes a Photographer

That was close. A couple of minutes earlier and she’d have caught me, unless I’d decided to keep the dust bunnies company until she left. If she did…or does.


Deciding he’d better move it in case she decided to check on him, Rory took the stairs two at a time down to his apartment. He gave it half an hour, spending the time rearranging his new furniture more to his liking. Then he took off—presumptively to do what a visiting salesman would while they were in town. When he was certain he wasn’t being followed, he went to the gallery, getting there just in time to catch Lou before he left.


Lou listened to Rory’s report on Seaver’s apartment before saying, “I agree. The empty closet, or rather the lack of men’s clothes, is definitely strange, not that you can say anything about it to her, while you’re having dinner.”


“Yeah. Even if she invites me back for a nightcap, I can hardly go prowling around and see that.”


Lou arched one dark eyebrow. “You’d really accept, if she did?”
