Why this must be read:
I have a soft spot for this pairing and for me, this story proves why Frannie and Welsh would work. Spot-on characterizations, quick dialogue, a story line that flows perfectly - the author gives us a bit of plot, a solid friendship between the characters and the beginnings of a romance. Even those that don't generally read het will find something to love in this soft, gorgeous look at a few of our favorite supporting characters.
He opened the car door for her to get in, and they spent the short drive to her house in a comfortable silence. When he parked in her driveway, he got out of the car and went around to open her door. She thought that she should probably say something feminist about not needing her door opened now that she was a cop and all, but decided to let it be. It was nice, being treated like a lady sometimes, and the Lieutenant had never shown signs of thinking she was less of an officer for all his chivalry. He was just a gentleman.
He had called her "Officer Vecchio" at first, with dignified courtesy. The third time they had coffee she'd told him to use her first name.
"Goodnight, Francesca," he said, at the door, and she smiled.
"Goodnight."
