Chapter Fourteen

I needed to go talk to Daisy. I’d exhausted all the things I had to do, minus actually taking care of the café. I needed to get on with talking with Daisy and figuring out if she had killed Sandy. Or if she knew who the killer was. Problem was, I was a little sparse on ways of getting to the hotel where Daisy was staying.

I pulled out my phone and studied its screen as I rounded the corner of a little wig shop and headed at a diagonal across a parking lot dotted with only a few cars. I wasn’t watching where I was going, but I didn’t really need to. This was a path I’d walked dozens of times over. That wasn’t a fact that would help me find a ride to the hotel. But my phone might.

I had two choices so far as I could figure. I could call a taxi, Uber, or the like, or I could call Liam. Any taxi driver I got would simply drop me off at the hotel and then drive on to leave me to face whatever there was to face on my own. Then, when I got done at the hotel, I’d have to deal with the incredibly awkward afterward of standing around waiting for the next taxi to arrive so that I could leave.

Calling Brad was out of the question because. His new promotion had him so worn out that he seemed to be aging a year for every day that passed.

As for driving myself, I didn’t have anything to drive. Agatha had gotten some fancy European sweetheart of hers to send a gorgeous motorcycle just for me. My heart still ached at the memory of what had happened to it. But that motorcycle had been a gift. I hadn’t bought it myself. I couldn’t afford it, and I wasn’t comfortable racking up the cost of running out and buying a replacement vehicle.

I stopped walking. I bit my lip, squeezed my eyes shut, and poked my finger at the phone. It rang, and I fidgeted. The ringing stopped, and a man’s voice answered.

“Yo!”

I opened my eyes, surprised at the chosen greeting.

“Yo,” I said in reply.

There was a pause. “Kylie? That you? Sorry. I’m driving. I didn’t see who the caller was. I just hit answer.” The warm timber of Liam’s voice had me softening all over in the best ways possible.

“It’s me.”

“Everything okay?”

“Yeah, yeah. I was just…” I was just an idiot. Why was I calling this guy? He was the old friend of my new friends. He owed me nothing. I was nothing to him.

“Kylie? Talk to me. You sure everything’s okay?”

I rolled my eyes at how perfect the man was, but I answered quickly. I didn’t want him worrying. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just…” My voice drifted off again. I hated to do it. I hated to ask favors from someone I’d never done anything for.

“You at the café?” Liam asked. His tone had dropped to a lower timbre.
