That elicited a smile from Alex, and she whispered back, "Don't worry. Sometimes he's feeling rather generous and puts it on my DCI's tab instead."
Glancing away mischievously, Alex led the twisting way out of the trattoria and back into the same building, up the stairs and to the flat. She accidentally left the door unlocked again, but bad habits were hard to break. She ushered Jack in, setting the wine down on the coffee table before flitting off to the kitchen to fetch two clean wine glasses. She returned, filling the fresh glasses and handing one to Jack before gesturing to the couch.
"Go on, sit down," she told him. "You know, as a psychologist, it's supposed to be me helping people through when they feel confused or lost or alone. I'm not exactly used to talking to anyone else. Especially men I've only just met."
