“Hello, officers. What’ll it be today?” asked Allie, searching for a
pen so she could take down their order. She usually tucked it
behind her ear but came up empty. Her apron pocket was bare.
She patted her hair—nope.

“It’s in your… ahem.” The cop on the right pointed to her chest as he
grinned.
Allie’s cheeks flamed as she snatched the pen from between two
buttons. It wasn’t like she put it there to draw attention to her… her… you
knows.
Especially not the attention of this guy!
The cop was tall and lanky with hands the size of dinner plates and ears
to match. He had that predatory feel of a guy who enjoyed perusing the
meat market. “Thanks,” she mumbled.
“No problem.” He grinned at his partner. “And you thought this would
be a boring lunch.”
“It’s never boring with you around, George,” replied his partner, a
middle aged, pot-bellied guy with a shiny head and a pair of teddy bear
eyes. Leaning his forearms on the table, he pointed to George. “This guy’s
always got a story. Some of the things he’s seen working nights would
make your toenails curl.”
“Sounds fascinating.” Allie monotone. “If you’re not ready, I can come
back.”
“A meatball sandwich,” said George with a note of desperation.
Desperate for food or desperate to keep her around so he could stare at her
chest a little longer? Allie raised her eyebrows. “Really?” “Yep. I haven’t
had a good meatball sandwich in years.”
“Well, you’re not about to get one now.” She jotted the information
down and turned to the other cop. “And for you?”
“I think I’ll stick to a burger and fries, no onions. And can we get a
couple coffees?”
“Sure. I’ll be right back with those.” The lunch rush hadn’t come
through yet so Allie entered their order and took their coffee back right
away.
“Thanks, sugar.” George winked.
Allie crossed her arms. The last man to call her sugar had used her good
name to create a very bad credit score. Reed, her ex-husband—thank the
heavens for that ex—said all the right things and did all the wrong ones. No
one had the right to call her sugar. “I’m not your sugar so you can just—”
“Whoa there—I was asking for sugar. For my coffee.” George held up
his cup, his eyes wide with innocence.
“Oh.” Allie blinked wondering if she’d misread George from the start.
There goes my tip. “Sorry, I’ve had a really bad day and—” “I don’t need
your life story, just the sugar.” George’s flirtatious behavior had disappeared
the moment she glared daggers. If that was the worst thing that came from
her little outburst she’d get off lucky. Since when had luck ever been on her
side?
“Allie,” called the café owner, William from his perch behind the
register. “Get your behind over here.”
Gritting her teeth, Allie silently reviewed the reasons she needed this
job. The Star Café always had a table open, usually one of Allie’s, but the
locals liked the old-timie vinyl booths and spinning stools at the counter.
