said.
    Eve grinned. “Alright old man, let’s go.”
    “Old man! You better watch it, sweetheart.”
    “Why, what are you going to do to me?” she asked innocently.
    “Oh, that’s my secret.”
    Eve grinned as she picked up the pace and headed towards a small pond. “I love this view. Buffalo is really beautiful.”
    “You sound surprised.”
    “I am all you ever hear about is the snow and mass exodus of people leaving.”
    “It has changed, a lot. People are coming back home and companies are building here. Yes, the lake causes problems in the winter but if you are an ice fisherman, it’s perfect for you.” Alex laughed.
    “I wish I had more time to explore.”
    “You can always come back. I would love to show you the downtown art museum. I used to run it.”
    “You were a curator?”
    “Youngest in its history,” Alex explained with a smile.
    “That’s amazing, Alex. Your family must be so proud of you.”
    He continued to jog as he grinned. “My father passed away awhile back from cancer but he did have a chance to see his influences develop in me.”
    Eve stopped suddenly and grabbed his arm. “I’m sorry, Alex. That’s so sad.”
    Alex smiled and nodded. “He’s my inspiration to keep my art gallery up to date with all the modern exhibits as well as display the classics. He would be proud to see the interest that I have stirred within people in the art masterpieces.”
    “Of course he would.”
    Alex couldn’t help but see the sadness in her eyes as he leaned down and lightly kissed her sweaty lips. His fingers traced the side of her face as he quickly felt lost. He felt her pull back slightly. “You seriously are the best kisser.”
    “Yeah, I’ve been told that,” Alex smirked. She lightly hit his arm and started jogging again.
    “Tell me about your mother,” she asked.
    “She’s great. She can sometimes seem threatening but she’s not. She’s just very protective of her children.”
    “ You have a sister also, correct?”
    Alex nodded as he suddenly felt winded . He didn’t realize how out of shape he was. “Yes, Patty. She’s wonderful. She recently got engaged to her long time boyfriend. I’m happy for them. They are one of those cute couples that you want to hate but can’t.”
    “I have a couple of friends like that too.”
    “Tell me about your parents,” Alex asked as he slowed down but fought to keep up with her.
    “They are wonderful. My dad is a police officer and my mom is a school teacher. I have three older brothers who are very protective of me.”
    Alex whispered. “I will keep that in mind.”
    “Are you planning on seeing more of me?”
    “I hope so, Ms. Matthews.” Alex stopped and grabbed his knees. He was happy to see his car again as he felt himself hit the wall.
    “You did great, Alex. You should be proud of yourself.”
    He was about to respond when his cell phone rang, he quickly set his Bluetooth to on and excused himself. “Hello?”
    “Mr. Smith, it’s Becca. I’m sorry that I had to call you so early but there is a problem at the gallery, can you come in?”
    “What’s the problem, Becca?”
    “Are you ok, you sound winded?”
    “I was out for a morning run. What’s wrong, Becca?”
    “There was a break in last night. Some of the paintings have been destroyed.”
    Alex gasped. “I will be right there!”
    Eve noticed his reaction right away and came over to him. “What happened?”
    “Eve, I need to go. There was a break in last night and I need to see what happened.”
    “I should go with you just in case any of my items were damaged.”
    Alex reassured her. “We have insurance but let’s see if we can’t get this straightened out.”
    They drove in silence and noticed the police cars as soon as they pulled into the parking lot. “I really wish I had time to shower.” Alex groaned.
    “Yeah, me too but business comes first.”
    They raced inside as Alex was greeted by Becca at the front door. He noticed her glare at Eve
