“Yeah, but he was doing me a favor. Just because I help Officer Davis exercise doesn’t mean he has to run random hot guy’s plate numbers.”
I shook my head. “Whatever you say.” I thought about how some of the women in the coffee shop had glared at her. “Are most of your clients married men?”
“Hmm…I mean, quite a few, yeah. But also some single guys. And women. Why?”
Well, at least she wasn’t just poaching married men. “No reason.” I was probably just overthinking it because of her weird produce purchases.
“But the guys are hot in this town, right?”
“Are you referring to Officer Davis or Bennett?”
“Both. But what did you think of Bennett? He’s great, right?”
He did seem great. Which made me even more suspicious of why’d she set me up with him. “Seriously…why aren’t you dating him?”
“I told you, I’m not ready to settle down.”
“Too busy flirting with married police officers?”
She smiled. “Exactly. And I can’t believe you’re making me third wheel on your next date too. Why did you say I should come? I really felt the chemistry between you two.”
“There was no chemistry.”
“Really? He was flirting with you so hard. And you practically drooled when he compared his dick to an éclair.”
“Just because I like éclairs doesn’t mean I want Bennett’s cock in my mouth.”
“Just hishotapple cider,” she said seductively.
“Stop it. I’m leaving in two weeks. And Callum…”
“Right. You have a guy to stalk. Who most definitely doesn’t live here. Before you know it, you’ll be old and gray still obsessing over a one night stand. Imagine if I obsessed over every one night stand I had? I’d never have time for anything.”
It wasn’t a one night stand to me. And I’d seen Callum. I knew it was him. He was here in this town.
Officer Davis walked through the door. “Okay, I ran the plates and the car is registered to a Theo Gold.”
What? No.That wasn’t possible. It was Callum Walsh! “Are you sure? Could you run the plates again?”
He gave me a weird look. “Running them again won’t change who owns the car.”
“Well, do you have a photo of his license? Or his address? Or maybe there was a name change request he’s filed?”
“I…um…” he glanced at Zoey. “I’m really sorry, but I really shouldn’t share that information.”
“Should I be going to the DMV for it?”
“I think the DMV will tell you the same thing,” Officer Davis said.
“Can you at least tell me how old it says he is?” I could never find out that information. And he looked young. He still looked young. He couldn’t be that much older than me.Wait.If it really was Callum but he was going by Theo now… “Maybe he’s stolen someone’s identity!”
“Do you think he’s stolen someone’s identity? I can definitely look into that if you want to file a formal complaint.”
“No, we don’t want to do that,” Zoey said. She turned to me. “Do we?” She didn’t really ask it as a question. It was more of a stern talking.
“But he may have actually stolen someone’s identity,” I said. “Can’t you just look to see if Theo Gold is some 80 year old man?”
“He’s not an 80 year old man,” Officer Davis said.
