His gaze snapped up. Ronan immediately realized how criminal that sounded.

“Legally.”

Elliot smiled.

“Disappointing.”

“Serial killer.”

“Boyfriend.”

Ronan stopped. Elliot’s smile widened slightly. There. That word. Still. Even here. Ronan looked toward the officer outside. Then back.

“Yeah.”

Elliot froze.

“What?”

“Boyfriend.”

Something happened to his face. Ronan almost laughed.

“You’re ridiculous.”

“You said it.”

“Yes.”

“Again.”

“No.”

“Ronan.”

“Absolutely not.”

Elliot smiled down at the table. Ronan let him. For a while. Then Elliot looked up.

“Did Vance find Saint?”

“No.”

The smile vanished.

“Anything?”

Ronan hesitated. Bell said no evidence. This was different. General. Maybe.

“Nathan gave them more.”

Elliot’s attention sharpened.

“What?”

“Seven projects.”

“I know that.”
