Vol 2 — Chapter 2: A Different Point of View

~Elise's POV~

Elise followed Matthew out to the car, ahead of Sean and Ian.

Matthew stepped over to the front, passenger door. Pulling it open, holding out his hand when Sean made to slide into the seat.

"Excuse, me, sir, you can sit in the back. Miss Dixion," Matthew said formally.

Elise glanced at Sean, who frowned looking rather surprised. "I-I can sit in the back."

"I would never hear the end of that from Detective Harper, please, Miss Dixion you are the boss," Matthew said.

Elise hesitated a moment before she slid into the seat.

When Matthew got into the driver's seat he glanced at her, pulling out a card he passed it to her. "You should put that in your contact list, Miss Dixion."

Elise took it, looking down at it.

"Yes, ma'am."

"What branch?"

"I was a Navy Seal, ma'am."

Elise gazed at him in surprise. "Were you ever deployed?"
