“Yeah, I didn’t make that decision lightly, but I was so frustrated and disappointed, well,...and shocked even,....I knew that it wasn’t gonna be working.”

Bonnie looked into my eyes, as if she was searching for proof for what I’d just said. As if she was looking for confirmation that I’m not the bastard, she probably still thought I was.

“Hmm...ohhkayyy....that’s consequent. Respect.” Saying this, she nodded, just a little bit, and I was sure, I’d seen a fleeting smile on her lips.

“Look, Coop, I gotta go. Errmm....yeah...see you.”

She got up, but before she could turn around to leave, I said: “Just one more thing...errmm...I still owe you some money and...”

“Yeah, fifty bucks. You still remember? Really?” She seemed amused.

“Mhhmm, I do. So...I wanted to ask if I could perhaps....I mean....if you would..” -With an eager look she raised an eyebrow- “Can I invite you to dinner?”

Again she looked straight into my eyes longer than I thought was necessary, but I didn’t shy away, and so I could see how she suddenly raised her defenses.
But,.... I’d probably caught a glimpse of who was hiding behind her armour.

“You know my price tag, right? That would cost you a pretty penny!” While she said that, she avoided eye contact but her voice had taken on a condescending tone again.

Somehow I’d anticipated this. “Yep”, I nodded friendly, “that’s ok.”

Judging by her expression, that was not the answer she'd expected.

“Errmm..Cooper, that’s like five hundred or so. You’re an unemployed ex-cop. You’re sure?”

You’re not shaking me off that easy, I thought and, still smiling, replied, ”Of course I am! Just let that be my concern. And for the record, I'm an ex-cop, yes, but I never said, I'm unemployed.”

She shook her head disbelievingly but finally agreed amused, “Ok ....well, if you say so...tomorrow night then.. ....See you.”
