In J.D. Robb's "Naked in Death," a singer captures the attention of a character who raises an eyebrow at her exaggerated gestures, wondering if she's signaling someone. The scene shifts to Eve, who, although initially reluctant, acknowledges the significance of the singer's actions, emphasizing their friendship.

Eve expresses her disbelief at Mavis's enthusiastic thumbs-up, which implies that Mavis thinks Eve has found romantic success. This light-hearted exchange highlights the camaraderie between the characters and Eve's reluctance to engage in any romantic notions despite her friend’s excitement.
