Droll and dry, said over his shoulder, with his eyebrows cocking like he might actually be spoiling for a fight if Steve says he doesn't enjoy the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as if he cares what Steve reads, or if Steve reads, as if he ever has time to even glance at a book these days.
Well, okay, he does. Have time. He's got spades of time, tons of time, more time than he knows what to do with, which is why he normally takes weekend shifts on the weeks he doesn't have Gracie, just stays at the office, going through papers or filing reports. There's plenty to do, if he puts his mind to it, and it's only kind of the mind-numbing boredom that would have made him want to jump off a cliff before a year was up.
But that's all neither here nor there, right, what he chooses to do with his free time, even if it's to make it anything other than free. The point is, he's not sure he likes Steve's attitude. At all.

But how is that anything new?
