“What I don’t know is why you think you are welcome in my home. Just because you’re investigating my son’s murder does not give you the right to attend family only events.” I had no response to that. She was right; I shouldn’t be here. Leo hadn’t even technically asked me to come. He just sort of implied it and then didn’t say anything when I tagged along. The number of unspoken rules I was breaking right now had me itching to apologize and take my leave. Leo’s hand found mine, his fingers slotting into the gaps as if they belonged there. “He’s my partner, so he can go where I go.”
