<span style="font-family:Assistant">"Oh," Alice's mood faltered a moment as Kinley declined the drink offer.<br/>
<br/>
Shame. She was hoping to relax a bit with him. After all, he definitely wasn't lacking in the look department. Any guy willingly to spend some time with her that wasn't trying to cop a feel AND was good looking was worth her time.<br/>
<br/>
"Duty?" Alice's green eyes widened like a doe. "Oh. You're a cop," she stated. "And you wanna talk about Star."<br/>
<br/>
She sighed getting comfortable and took a long sip from her drink. Alice brushed her fingers through her dark locks shaking her head. "Not much to say really. I mean we say hello and goodbye. Occasionally some filler conversations, but I hardly wouldn't call us friends."<br/>
<br/>
She gave the young cop a smile as he stumbled over his words. Cute. He was flustered. "Do I intimidate you that much? I'm helpless. Trust me, you have nothing to worry about. If you want me to keep an eye on her, I will."<br/>
<br/>
Alice gave his hand a squeeze and winked. "As along as you keep being cute, you'll have my attention."</span>
