“On Rodeo Drive?” Sunny said.
Jesse said, “Yeah.”
“Maybe in the Jere Jillian boutique?”
“Yeah.”
“Maybe in the fitting room?” she said.
Sunny’s voice seemed to develop overtones as she talked.
“Uh-huh.”
“No,” she said. “Why do you ask?”
“I’m the chief of police, I gather information.”
“We aren’t going steady, are we?” Sunny said.
“Not quite,” Jesse said.
“We could,” Sunny said.
“You bet,” Jesse said.
“As soon as you’re clear of Jenn, and I’m clear of Richie.”
“Right after that,” Jesse said.
“Still,” Sunny said. “We might wish to relive some of those golden moments from the fitting room at Jere Jillian.”
“We do wish to do that,” Jesse said.
“I’ll come up tonight,” Sunny said. “About seven?”
“Should we have a drink first?”
“Oh, you civilized devil,” Sunny said. “You’re not going to jump me in the living room?”
“Probably not,” Jesse said. “Bring Rosie.”
“Of course,” Sunny said. “I’m pretty sure I love you.”
“Better than Richie?”
“Oops,” Sunny said.
“Yeah. And then there’s Jenn.”
“Oops again,” Sunny said.
