Grant said gleefully, as he embraced Beverly and did a little dance. “When?” she asked, feigning total shock. They were in his office. He’d called her in, claiming it was for some unfinished paperwork. “The call came from the governor himself this morning. He needed a replacement for Judge Crawford and asked if I was interested. I told him I would have to think about it.” Grant made a comical face. “Two seconds later, I said hell yes!” “I’m so happy for you, Grant,” Beverly said, and kissed him on the mouth. “I’m sure you’ll make a fine judge, even if we’ll miss you around here more than anyone will admit. Except for me.” Grant laughed. “Didn’t you know—they’ve been trying to get rid of me for years. Now I’m granting them their wish.” He pulled her closer, wrapping her in his arms. “As for you, my dear, you’re not going to get rid of me that easily. I intend to make sure you’re never too far to miss me.” “Promise?” She didn’t want his promotion to have an adverse effect on their relationship.
