I was stretched out with Stephenson on her tiny bed

We were discussing a murder case and were reading the reports

I was fully dressed but Stephenson was naked from the waist down

This was the way she worked and I had got used to seeing her like this

Stephenson was wearing her only her police shirt and looked faintly ridiculous

But her sharp mind was at work and within an hour she had guessed at the motive

The motive as I see it was to frame his business partner who had discovered the problem 

Possibly 

What are you looking at 

The spots on your arse 

You have three of them 

You do not have to wear police issue tights do you 

I see your point 

We spent another three hours together studying the details that we were aware of and then I returned home

I left Stephenson in her kitchen making hot chocolate

She offered me a cup but I declined

Although I noted that her spots may have been the result of a high sugar intake

As I had not seen them during the summer months when police uniforms were even more uncomfortable
