"If my dad was still alive, I would have suspected him, but other than that ..." She was silent for a moment. "This is actually why I joined Magical Law Enforcement," she admitted softly. "I wanted to be an Auror, so I'd have access to the murder file on Mum's death. Unfortunately, that didn't happen." Lights was starting to feel her great mood slipping away, so she grinned at Ethan. "Hey, I've got to go. Want to meet after work, at the Muggle pizza parlour outside or something? The pizza is awesome!"
Did she just ask me out? Ethan thought quizzically. That was odd for him: he was usually the one doing the asking out. But Ethan wasn't about to pass up an opportunity. "That sounds great!" he said, "I love pizza. Want to meet there around, oh, four thirty?" He wanted to carry out the conversation they were having. And, of course, there was pizza in it for him... Ethan stood up, extending a hand to help Lights out of her seat as well. "We do have to go back to work. I'll see you at four thirty?" he asked. He wanted to be reassured that she would show.
