I think they\u2019re cute.\u201d She would have been more than happy to plant a few in her garden, but taking time away from home meant she would likely return to nothing but Morning Glories.<\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0S<\/strong><\/big>omething that felt a little like pride swelled in her chest when he decided to contribute to the conversation. It felt nice to be listened to, but it was even better knowing the person she spoke to had something to say \u2014 not to mention he was handsome, and his laugh was incredibly adorable.<\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201dH<\/big><\/strong>mm?\u201d Focus, \u201cOh! Uh, I\u2019ve only been workin\u2019 with flowers for about three years. I practically begged fer th\u2019 job after I moved t\u2019 California by m\u2019self. Ma was never\u2026
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0S<\/strong><\/big>he thought it wasn\u2019t a good job.\u201d<\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0M<\/strong><\/big>adison shook her head and urged the smile to return to her face, \u201cWhat about you? You\u2019re a detective! I know ya said it\u2019s a lot of paper work, but I\u2019ve always wondered what it would be like. I mean, it\u2019s probably nothin\u2019 like what they show on TV, right?\u201d<\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I suppose the morning glories are best left on abandoned castles, hm? There’s a manor in Lyon that I visit from time to time; crumbling walls, rotting wood, climbing ivy… and god, so many morning glories. They’re beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.”<\/p>\n

He rocked back and forth on his heels as he considered a segue, pulling himself from the day dream. “Good job or not,” he looked at her again with a reassuring smile. “I think it’s wonderful that you’re doing what you’re passionate about. That’s far more important than money or social stigma, anyway. It’s the way to find true joy, or so I’m told.<\/p>\n

"Really, rather like detective work. Sometimes it’s as the telly shows, yes… There are chases, exciting criminal cases, injuries, time spent in laboratories, speaking to blood splatter experts… But most really is paperwork. Alas, anything we detectives do must be documented if we’re to use it in court. It’d be far too easy to fake otherwise. But, fortunately…”<\/p>\n

Hakuba leaned in closer to her then, raising a brow with mischievous interest, smirk going crooked on his face. “I’m rather fond of the smell and texture of paper, and love to examine ink and typed writing for mistakes… cross-referencing data, determining legitimacy. You can learn so much about people that way, and since paperwork isn’t as standard across the board as one might think, there are plenty of rooms for error, all of which lead to… well, curious things. Which I love.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
