She shook her head. “I mean, who are you and why are you asking me questions like that?”
“I’m just someone who wants to help.” That was the truth now. He may have the heart of a cop, the mind of a cop, but he was a civilian. His choice, yes, but it was still taking some getting used to.

He made a mental note about her character—family was important.
Not that he necessarily needed to make notes about Summer Dawson’s character.
Still, his old habit of analyzing people, observing things about them, died hard. He might not have a badge, but he was still a cop inside.
