Hi,
Great part!
Blair stopped and faced Connie. “Tomorrow? What’s happening tomorrow at nine?”
Connie smiled. “We’re going to talk about us working together on a long-term basis. I think we both have some things we can bring to the party.” She pointed her finger at Blair. “I also think we can do some real good in this city. Are you up to it?”
Blair’s face almost split with joy. “I’ll be there, boss girlfriend, don’t you worry ‘bout me. Legal Aid will have to do without my brilliance, wit, and legal acumen from now on.”
Love it.
Connie glanced at Jack and grinned slightly. “Maybe there’s hope for us oldsters, too. What do you think?”
Jack quirked an eyebrow at her. “I think I need a vacation. I’m obviously getting too old for this.” His eyes twinkled. “Maybe I should think about going into private practice, too.”
Connie stepped closer to him. “Why don’t we discuss that over dinner tomorrow night? My treat.”
“My dear Ms. Hunter! Are you willing to be seen in public with a member of the opposing team? Surely the defense counsel union will have something to say about that.”
Connie lowered her glasses and glared at him over the rims. “As Blair might put it, don’t you worry your empty little head about that. I’ll just tell them I was trying to seduce you but that you weren’t smart enough to succumb.”
Love is in the air.
