Bone Yard Part 7

I bucked up. "Yeah, I'm fine. Everything's fine. Lots to tell you, though. Are you free for dinner? I promised Cisco a steak."

"Sure. Where do you know that takes dogs?"

"How about my place?"

"I thought you didn't cook."

I opened the car door and slid in. Cisco swiped a happy tongue across my face."I don't. But you do."

There was a short silence. "I guess I'm bringing the steaks, too?"

"Right. I've had a kind of tough day."

In a moment I heard him chuckle. "I'll see you at seven."

"Bye, Miles." I hung up the phone and started the engine.

Okay, so maybe we're dating.

Just a little.
