"And why do you think I killed this guy?" Cassian leans back in the cold metal chair, wrists bound to the table. He studies the detective opposite him—impeccably dressed in pearls and a braid, looking like she solved the crime over steak. Her narrowed eyes meet his mocking gaze.

He leans forward, forcing her to retreat slightly. "But I wouldn't mind seeing you again," he grins, resisting a wink. "You know where I live."
