Dave? Yes, of course I will. I squeal. I was hoping you would say that once we're back in the States, we have to talk details. Venue hunting, cake tasting, dress, shopping. Go, go, go! Get on your flight. I just wanted to ask before you left for vacation. Boonville Yage. Okay, July and wine country. I love it. Love you. Bye. I slide my cell phone back into my carry on bag and skip across the gate area. Catherine just asked me to be her maid of honor. I profess proudly. Oh, no way. Fun, Dave replies. I bet their wedding is going to be amazing. They're thinking Napa this time next year. I am thinking maybe I'll try to fly out there in the next few months, Help with some of the upfront wedding planning jazz. Since she doesn't have a mom to do these things with, I have extra miles you can use. You should totally take a planning trip out there. Yea. Oh, that wedding's gonna be so fun. Will stay at a cute bed and breakfast, bite through the vineyards, get Drese in the moaning suit up for the party, make it rain. Squealer indep Lubbe. Dave, who happens to be even paler and blonder than I am, has a charming habit of awkwardly stringing together and or misusing rap terms. I never correct him, because why deprive myself of these daily injections of humor They call our road to board a disarm a man was Allison, Dave says, Oh, Parle soma or francais? Maybe in Sumer on a pony. A law on Eva. This is going to get old real fast, huh? Dave smiles and nods vigorously. Animals need air to breathe. You can breathe in air, inhale a big breath of air. Animals need water to live. Some animals lap water with their tongue. You drink water from a cup, pretend to drink water from a cup. Animals need food to eat. Some animals bite and to their food. You bite into food when you eat. Pretend to take a big bite from an apple. Once Luke smiles for pretty, women had been easy and authentic. Now they were reflexive, born out of a month's worth of misplaced hero worship. So you're Lopez, on the other hand, had no such hang ups and was in full charm mode. So where you ladies visiting from Lopez asked, handing the girls back their phones. Luke took another sip of his increasingly cold coffee and rolled his eyes. At least someone was profiting from Luke's brush with fame. Little Rock, the taller blond said, her fingers moving rapidly over the screen of her phone. Luke had no doubt that his face had just been plastered all over every possible social media site again. Ah, that explains the cute Southern accent, Lopez told the woman with a wink. Uh huh. It also explained what the women were doing wandering around Times Square, a place no New Yorker would be caught dead in unless someone paid them to be there in Luke And Lopez's case that someone doing the paying was the NYPD crowd Control in Midtown wasn't exactly the sexy part of being a New York cop, but it was a necessary one, especially on days where the latest teen pop star was giving a concert at 47th and Broadway.

Lopez asked, Still trying to get the women to notice that he was giving them his best smile. They barely responded, still busy on their phones, and Luke nearly grinned at the irritation on his partner's face.

With the dark skin and jet black hair of his Latino father and the pale blue eyes of a Norwegian mother, he was never short on female company. Then Luke had become an overnight sensation, and now Lopez had to work twice as hard for his share of female attention. Luke would be gloating if the whole situation hadn't been so damned annoying. Excuse me, Officer. Could you help us for a second? We're trying to find the Hilton. Luke turned to the tired looking couple, dragging around enormous suitcases and a cranky looking toddler. Their expressions were more exhausted than starstruck, and he smiled when he realized they didn't recognize him.
