Snippet:

″Ray? I’m sorry. I should’ve called. I can’t leave yet. There’s still some last minute details to be sorted at the hotel.″

″I know. I just thought I’d come by and get Dief before I picked up some supper.″

Fraser put his pen down and sat back, obviously relieved. ″Thank you. That’s an excellent idea. I should’ve thought of that.″

″You’ve been busy.″

Rubbing his forehead, Fraser frowned. ″Again, I’m sorry.″

″Not your fault.″

″On the positive side, this should be over after tomorrow night.″

″I hope so.″ Ray stepped closer and sat on the edge of the desk, his voice a bit lower. ″I’ve missed you these last two weeks.″

Fraser took Ray’s hand, squeezing it. ″I’ve missed you as well. It’s just been a madhouse around here. You have no idea how much I’d prefer working our cases over making catering plans for two hundred rather persnickety fellow officers.″

″Persnickety? What kind of word is that?″

″It means picky, particular in one’s habits.″

″Persnickety, huh? I like that. So, these Mounties coming in making all kind of persnickety demands?″

″Very much so. I had no idea how many officers required dietary restrictions and special meal plans.″

″So no blubber and lichens on the menu for this thing?″

Fraser laughed and squeezed Ray’s hand again. ″Thank you. I needed that.″

″What, comic relief?″

″Something like that.″
