“Can I offer you a ride, Deputy?”
Killian frowns and squints his eyes a little against
the low, early autumnal sun, but no, his ears haven’t deceived him:
there’s his wife casually leaning against the hood of her yellow bug,
parked on its usual spot right in front of the sheriff’s station.“What are you doing here, Swan?” he asks and
approaches her with a smile. “Weren’t you supposed to assist your
mother with the preparations for your brother’s birthday
celebrations?”“Yeah, I did, until she said we were done.” Emma
shrugs and pushes away from the car to greet him. “Maybe I wasn’t
very useful.”“I can imagine,” he comments in an amused voice
and kisses her smiling mouth. “Admit it, you only used that as an
excuse for not having to help with the record filing.”“Hey!” She whacks his arm playfully and chuckles
as she opens the driver’s door while Killian elegantly folds himself
into the passenger seat. But then she admits a little sheepishly,
“Well, I wouldn’t have been useful with that either.”He tilts his head. “I knew it!” While fastening
his seat belt, he asks, “So, do you want to pick up something for
dinner?”She nods and starts the engine. “Later. First, I
was thinking we could drive a bit to the outskirts and give you some
driving lessons.”“Driving lessons?” Killian isn’t thrilled, to
say the least. He’s used to riding in the passenger seat of Emma’s
beloved bug by now, but trying his own hand at its helm? He doubts
that such an endeavor would end well. Even though he’s a fast
learner, he’s still in the process of getting used to driving a car,
and he hasn’t tried any other vehicle than David’s truck so far. “No
offense, Swan,” he says carefully, “but I think your father’s car
is much more suitable for me.”She grins cheekily and challenges, “What, afraid
you can’t handle this one?”He throws her an indignant look. “The vessel I’m
inept to captain has yet to be built.”
