Excerpt:
Quinn liked to think that he didn’t miss too many details - and he had no frame of reference for what made an Eliot Spencer meal distinctive - but he didn’t realize until the third or fourth time that he met Parker that he was getting off-menu service. Parker laughed at that, a knowing smirk on her lips. “If you’re around for Easter, you’ll be in for a treat,” she told him.
And, dammit, she was right. Technically their time off from jobs didn’t line up until the Thursday after the holiday, but that didn’t stop Spencer. Even with the Leverage team getting in on a red-eye the day of and Quinn definitely not having told either Parker or Eliot about his uncle’s renowned grilled pork loin there still ended up being one slid right onto the table alongside the array of sides and tantalizing mains.
“How does he do that?” Quinn asked Parker. Apparently the question he should have been asking though was less so about how - was there really any secret that the retrieval expert wouldn’t puzzle out eventually? - and more on the why.
