Magic City (2007)
“Alex pulled free, opened the door, and waved that she was coming. She had on gray linen slacks and a pink sweater set. Somehow managing to look both feminine and tough.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” She gave him a wary smile, snagged her purse from the front table, dug through it, and produced a silver cell phone, flipped it open, and showed it to Thorn. “You ever use one of these?”
“I’m more of a pay-phone kind of guy.”
She smiled and shook her head.
“You’re such a Luddite, Thorn. Come on, join the n...ew century.”
“I was just warming up to the last one.”
