(A interrogation list)

"Does Patch have a restraining order against him? Is Patch a felon?" Patch read.

"Give-me-that!" I hissed furiously.

Patch gave a soft laugh, and I knew he'd seen the next question.
"Does Patch have a girlfriend?"

Patch put the paper in his back pocket. I was sorely tempted to go after it, despite its location.

He leaned back against the counter and leveled our eyes.
"If you're going to dig around for information, I'd prefer that you ask me."

"Those questions were a joke. Vee wrote them. It's all her fault."

"I know your handwriting, Nora."

"Well, okay, fine." I began, hunting for a smart reply, but I took too long and lost my chance.

"No restraining orders. No felonies." Patch said.

I tilted my chin up.
"Girlfriend?"
I told myself I didn't care how he answered. Either way was fine with me.

"That's none of your business."

"You tried to kiss me. You made it my business."

"Ex-girlfriend." He said after a moment.
