Summary
Judy Hopps is trying to breathe.
She’s a good cop. A great cop. But right now, her heart is a snare drum in her chest. It’s all because of the fox leaning in the doorway. Nick. Her partner. The smell of his stupid, expensive cologne is everywhere. It’s on her fur, from when he pulled her close in the club. A performance. That’s what they told themselves.
She notices things now. The way his green eyes catch the light. The low rumble in his voice when he says her name. Judy. Not Carrots. Not tonight.
Nick Wilde is playing it cool. He’s always playing it cool.
But his mask is cracking. He just watched Judy take down a rhino twice her size. She was magnificent. A force of nature. It terrified him. It thrilled him. He remembers the heat of her body against his in the crowded club. The way her ears twitched when he whispered the plan in her ear. He had to focus. It was so damn hard to focus.
He wants to tease her. To call her Carrots and break the tension. But the words won’t come. All he can think is, What if?
