“No kidding. I was so furious I wanted to take them both apart.”
“Furious...and hurt?”
Pepper shrugged. “In the end, it worked out. And thanks to them, Rowdy and I are now free.”
No more hiding. Alice envied her the freedom. “So you’ve forgiven the deception?”
“Yeah, sure. Don’t tell Reese, though.” She gave a devilish grin. “I like giving him a hard time.”
Given her carefree expression, Alice believed it. Pepper looked truly happy—and well loved. “I’m glad you and Logan found each other, regardless of the path you took to get there.”
“That’s about it.” Her fingertips tapped the edge of the tub before Pepper said, “This is nice—talking with you, I mean. You’re...comfortable.”
Alice gave a short laugh over that dubious compliment. “Thank you. I’ve enjoyed it, as well.”
“Maybe it’s because we’re both different.”
Not exactly a subtle hint, but Alice just smiled. “Maybe.” In such a short time they’d settled into an easy alliance. “Bullet wound aside, I’m glad to see that you and Detective Riske both fared so well after everything that happened yesterday.”
“You worry a lot, don’t you?”
About everyone and everything. “Sometimes.” Always. “As you said, I’m...different.”
“Different is good.” Pepper sized her up. “You know what? I think we should do a makeover on you.”
“On...me?”
“It’s not an insult, I swear.”
“I wasn’t insulted.” More like...intrigued. “I’ve never fussed much with the usual female stuff.”
“You don’t really need to, not with your dark lashes and brows. But it wouldn’t hurt to loosen you up a bit.”
“Loosen me up?”
“Is there an echo in here?” Pepper teased, but then suddenly stalled. “I’m rushing things, right?”
Alice waved that off. “No, of course not.”
“You’ve probably got better things to do—”
“I think it’s a wonderful idea.” Would she enjoy being loosened up? Possibly. “I wouldn’t mind looking more fashionable—that is, if it won’t be too much work for you.”
“Are you kidding? It’ll be fun.” Pepper paused to draw a breath. “God, it’s been forever since I just had fun. Especially with another woman.”
Alice got caught up in her excitement and her teasing mood. “You won’t expect me to go around in wet dresses, will you?”
“Reese has to be able to function, so, no.”
There was more laughter—until a tap sounded on the door.
