Chapter 1
Maura knew that it couldn't happen. Frankie was Jane's brother, who was her best friend. But it was all she could think about. Then Frankie walked into the morgue. His tan muscles covered up by his dark blue uniform. She had always been a sucker for bad boys, but now she wanted the one man that she knew she could never have. Hey, Maura what are you up to. "Oh, you know, just elbow deep in a Duodenum". As he looked down he could see that she was looking through the large intestines of the latest murder victim. Frankie always skirted the edge of what he actually wanted to say but this time, he just blurted it out. "Do you want to go on a date with me"? What did I just do, she is so classy and does not want to date a blue collar, Italian American cop. Maura shocked by the proposal could not believe her own ear, but she knew that they were working properly. Could he read her mind, she thought. "Frankie, I'm flattered, of course I will go on a date with you". "Really, that would be great. Would you want to go to Toscanos tonight at 8"? asked Frankie. Maura frantically went through her schedule in her mind. All she had to do tonight was going jogging with Jane, but she was sure that she could get out of it. "That would be fantastic". Frankie was over the moon, "Ok, I will pick you up at your place. " As Frankie walked out of the morgue, all Maura could do is look at his ass and whispered to herself, "Damn, he's hot". Now she had to tell Jane.
