Her laughter was appealing, he discovered, much to his chagrin. Only when she actually laughed; not that mischievous cackle she'd been so fond of in the beginning. Coincidentally, he was considering that locking her in the backseat would have been a much better option for his sanity.
"Charm?" He shook his head, setting the longer parts out of sorts, but he immediately set them to rights with a brush of his hand. "If you consider this being charming then I'd hate to see you being anything else." He stopped at a red light, looking over just in time to watch her teeth press against her lower lip. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Stop it," he commands, again, in the same useless tone.
She actually managed to make him sound quite appealing as she began listing her reasons.
Well, fuck.
He should probably stop thinking the word 'fuck' if she was going to keep talking about doing just that. He fidgeted uncomfortably in the seat, before taking off as the light turned green. "You really don't have to go through all this for a place to stay," his advice was likely to fall on deaf ears. "You can drop the act."
"Well, I am honored to meet your specifications, if nothing else," he returns with a sigh, doing his best to ignore her sultry tone. As she touched her hair, he unnecessarily adjusted his glasses to keep from doing the same. He did his best to think more about the crime scene and less about whether the cascading ringlets were as soft as they looked.
"I'm not some jackass that sits behind a desk. It's not my job to convince everyone that shit's all cool in the neighborhood." There was really no need for him to explain himself or anything to her, but here he was running his mouth again. "Lying to people does not protect them."
He had driven them far enough from the city to avoid the noise, but not the lights. The skyline could still be seen shining in the distance when he finally pulled into a driveway. The house it belonged to was a white-washed Colonial looking thing that was well-kept, and cozy. It begged for a yard full of children and puppies, of which Grayson had neither. He turned off the car and began gathering his things. "Out," he commands, before throwing open the door and exiting the vehicle.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
