Emily Blair’s brow twitched; she was about to tell Tristan Davis to drop the sentimental act when, all of a sudden, he squeezed her shoulder—hard.
“But you know, I have good taste. Five years ago, I picked a real diamond in the rough—you.”
Tristan flashed a smug grin, straightened his collar with exaggerated pride. “I’m pretty impressive myself, you know.”
Emily just stared.
Here we go again.
He bumped her shoulder, not-so-gently. “So what’s your plan?”
She glanced down at her phone. “Take it slow. Dig for answers.”
He grew serious. “I mean it. If you need help, just tell me, okay? Don’t make me read your mind.”
She smiled and clapped him on the shoulder, just as firmly. “Of course. After Ryan Cox’s mess, I realized you’re actually useful. If I need you, you’ll be the first to know.”
Tristan gripped her shoulder in return, the two of them suddenly striking the pose of solemn brothers-in-arms.
“Good to hear, partner. That’s all I needed.”
Emily couldn’t hold back a laugh. “You’re such a weirdo.”
By now, they’d reached the hospital entrance.
Her driver had already pulled up. As soon as they climbed into the car, he handed a folder across the front seat.
