i track kisses up his neck , straight to his lips . cute little town just a forty-minute train ride from grand central station . he nudged me toward the bed and sat down on the edge next to me . listen , i know a couple of cops there . i stumble back to my bed and collapse on the sheets . hank popped a candied date into ginger 's mouth , wondering what swirled around in that brilliant mind of hers . i opened my eyes at the touch of her cool , soft hand sweeping against my cheek .
