“I agree.”

Dakota took a chance.

He kissed her, and it was soft, gentle, and she loved every second of it. She’d seen the other side of Dakota, the broken side.

Now, she was seeing another part.

He was sweet.

When he broke the kiss, he put her down and focused on Violet.

“Can I date your mom?” he asked.

Violet thought about it.

“Let’s see how you behave,” she said, smiling. “Luckily for you, I’m easily bribed.”

He lifted a brow.

“Bribed?”

“Yeah, you have piano skills, and I want them,” she said. “My mom for some lessons.”

He laughed.

“Spicy like her mother,” he said. “This is going to be fun.” Then, he held out his hand.

When Violet took it, he winked at her.

“You got your lessons, Kiddo.”

When he looked over at his family, Jagger was recording him.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

He laughed.

“Recording a memory. Rogue wants to see this going down,” he said.

Well, the part coming next.

Dakota just rolled his eyes.

Maura had a job to do. It appeared, everyone was going to win in this one, but, now, unfortunately, they had work to do.

Maura knew they’d given them as much time as they could.

She’d already sent Remmy the address, and they had to head there.

“Well, now that you’ve kissed and made up, we have to go. Merry, can you and Boone stay here and continue to do some research on the five cops? Maybe we can figure something out that will lead us to Chevy.”

Merry and Boone were in.

“Sure,” she said.

“Stella, you’re in because you’re pregnant. Tommy, we’re going to kill cops so...”.

He didn’t miss a beat.
