    “Look it up on the internet. I’m sure you can find it on there. I don’t know how to clean it up.” Rosie brushed past her and into the bedroom to make the bed.
    Andy stared after her friend. Well, why not? They always say eve rything is on the internet. Andy sa t down on the couch and opened her laptop and typed “Clean up fingerprint dust” into Google and sure enough a list of articles on How To Clean Up Fingerprint Dust popped up. How about that? Andy quickly scanned the article and luckily it was as simple as using warm soapy water to wash down the surfaces, unless she wanted to go through her home owner’s insurance or try and force the police department to pay for clean up. Andy shook her head. It was a mess, but only a little dust. She and Rosie could manage it, but not tonight, maybe tomorrow morning.
    “Find anything?” Rosie plopped down on the couch next to her.
    “Yeah, actually. Warm soapy water. But let’s do it tomorrow. I’m t o o tired to do it tonight. Do you have to work tomorrow?” Andy closed her laptop and placed it on the coffee table.
    “Not until the late afternoon. I can help you in the morning.” Rosie pulled something out of her pocket and held it out to Andy. “I know this isn’t the best time , but I thought maybe this would cheer you up.”
    “What is it?” Andy took the piece of paper half grinning try i ng to figure out what in the world Rosie was up to. She opened the slip of paper. Written on it was the name Ian with a phone number and little hearts all around it. Andy’s heart sped up as she reread his name. “He called.” Her voice was a whisper.
    “He called.” Rosie leaned in and sing- songed the words back at her.
    “He called!” Andy squealed and they both broke out in giggles. “Oh my God. When should I call him?” Andy grabbed Rosie’s hand and squeezed it as her heart beat fast at the idea of talking to Ian on the phone.
    “Call him now . T he pizza will be here soon and it’ll give you an excuse for a quick call.” Rosie jumped of f the couch to grab the phone off the counter. “Here. Call him.”
    Andy didn’t hesitate. She dialed the phone and held it to her ear.
    It rang. And rang and rang. Maybe he wasn’t home. Her heart sank into her feet and Andy was about to hang up when a rough voice answered the phone.
    “Ian?” Andy held her breath. She didn’t recognize his voice, but she’d only talk to him once at the club.
    “This is him. Who’s this?” He groaned low in his throat as covers rustled.
    “This is Andy. Did I wake you up?” Andy twisted her dress in her fingers suddenly nervous about bothering him.
    “What? No, I was just getting up. Andy, it’s great to hear from you. I’m so glad you called.” Ian’s voice seemed to come alive and it was a velvet smooth caress over her skin. God , it was sexy as hell. “What’s going on?”
    “Not much. J ust got your number from Rosie and thought I’d give you a quick call.” Andy’s palms were damp with sweat and she wiped them on her dress. She glanced around her living room , but Rosie was gone. Where had she disappeared to?
    “Rosie, she’s your best friend , right?”
    “Yeah, since we were kids. Why?” Andy bit her bottom lip between her teeth as she waited for Ian to answer.
    “She had a million questions for me.” He chuckled. “She sure does care about you.”
    “She’s a little overprotective. Sorry.” Andy blushed even though Ian could n’t see it.
    “No, don’t be. I understand. You have to look out for the people you care about in your life. I would have done the same for my sister.”
    Andy liked that he understood Rosie and wasn’t put off by her best friend. “So tell me more about yourself, Ian. Where do you work?”
    “My brother-in- law owns a community center and I work for him running a training program for teenagers. I teach them self-defense and self- control.”
    Andy was surprised by his occupation, but excited that she ’d
