Detective Jack: S1-05: Inarticulate

Dammit, Jack.

This woman. Beautiful. Smart.

And you fucked it up.

I had leaned over to tell her that she looked radiant. It started off well and good, but I couldn’t just be thoughtful. I couldn’t leave it there.

I considered proposing we return to my house. But instead, I started to talk about the case. I thought she had trusted me by now. Perhaps she would let me in.

“Please, just tell me what you know. We can’t have secrets.”

And just as I uttered that word, her grin flipped. She smacked her hands against the table.

“Are you using me? Is that what this is?

Soon, she was running out of the restaurant.

I knew I messed up. And so, I ran after her. Determined to make it right.
