The constable had finally proposed to his fiancée, and she had said yes. Even though I knew I could never have such a life, and maybe had my doubts about their future happiness, I wasn’t resentful toward him. I was actually pleased for the young couple, and Rick’s happiness had rubbed off on me. So, by the time the detective arrives in his motor vehicle, I am beaming at him—all thoughts of his rejection gone. Unfortunately, my sudden elevated mood arouses his suspicion, and he immediately tenses. “You’re in a rather good mood, Moira,” he says, as I climb into the seat beside him. “I am. Rick proposed to his lady friend and she said yes.” He lifts a brow in feigned bewilderment. “I didn’t know you were the optimistic type.” “I’m not,” I say, and then wave to Rick before we drive off. “His smile is just so contagious, and I wouldn’t want to be the one to remove it from that adorable face of his.”
