“I wish I knew why I make you nervous.”

Dale hadn’t planned to open that can of worms. But the words had spilled out before he could contain them.

“Why?”

“It’s a very long story.”

“I don’t have to be anywhere for an hour.”

Dale knew that no matter what he said next, she wasn’t going to budge today. So he murmured a quick goodbye and headed back to his patrol car.
