finally resting on Lisa. “Why don’t the two of you see what can be worked out?”
Lisa frowned. She didn’t want to be pulled into this. Redeeming idea or not, she didn’t like the thought of working too closely with Malone. One altruistic moment did not a saint make.
“It’s his idea,” she protested, looking at Muriel pointedly.
The expression on Muriel’s face was mild. But once she’d made up her mind, nothing could dissuade it. “Yes, but you’re the teacher,” she reminded her.
That shouldn’t be held against her, Lisa thought, irritated.
Ian looked at her with mild surprise. “You’re a teacher?”
Lisa unconsciously squared her shoulders. “Yes.” She braced herself for some sort of crack. She wasn’t disappointed.
His mouth curved slowly, lazily. Wickedly. “No wonder I kept having the strange sensation of having my knuckles rapped.”
“Very funny.” She looked at him pointedly and decided—again—that she didn’t like his attitude. “If I were to rap something, it wouldn’t be your knuckles.”
He didn’t back off. She hadn’t thought he would. “Tell me more, this is getting to sound interesting.”
Lisa caught herself growing angrier without being entirely sure why. “Is everything a joke to you?”
“If you don’t laugh, you cry,” he told her with more solemnity than she thought possible.

He glanced over her head through the window and his expression changed. It made her think of a prisoner who had just seen his parole papers placed on the warden’s desk. “Looks like my ride’s here.”
“Your ride?” she echoed, turning around to see for herself. She saw a light-blue Corvette pull up right before the front steps.
He nodded, rolling down his sleeves and buttoning them at his wrist.
“The state of California doesn’t want me driving around right now. Something about people not being safe on the streets. See you, Kitty. We’ll talk more next time.” And then he winked at her just before he left the premises.
She tried not to notice that something in her stomach fluttered in response.
