Two days later, Megan carefully placed the last cake in William’s truck. She was more than happy with how everything had turned out. Now all she had to do was drive into Sapphire Bay and decorate the cakes at Brooke’s candy store.

“Where would you like this box?” William asked.

When she’d left Milwaukee, Megan had packed her cake decorating supplies and brought them with her. At the time, she thought she wouldn’t need them, but she didn’t want to leave them behind.

“The box will be okay on the back seat. If you wrap the seatbelt around it, it shouldn’t move. Do you think the cakes will be all right?”

William moved to the back of the truck and opened the topper.

Megan had wrapped blankets around each cake box. Using a stretchy bungee cord, she’d anchored them against the back wall. They looked okay to her, but a second-opinion might make them extra safe.

“Unless I roll the truck, they should be fine.”

She breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned. “You don’t need to come with me. The roads aren’t too bad at the moment.”

William sent her one of his, you can’t be serious looks.

“It’s not that far,” Megan added. “And I’m a good driver.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you’re a good driver or not. I’m here to protect you and Nora. I can’t do that if you’re twenty minutes away with the only truck on the property.”

“Nora will get bored. Even with the work we’ve done, I’ll still be at the store for most of the day.”

William wasn’t impressed with her reasoning. “I’m sure we can find something interesting for Nora to do. You can’t go on your own.”

Megan clamped her lips together. She wasn’t sure what Brooke would think when they all arrived. William didn’t look like a bodyguard, but he sure could act like one. “Do you ever get tired of telling people what they should do?”

“Only when they don’t listen to me.”

There wasn’t much she could say to that.

William locked the back of the truck. “If you’re tired of my company, you’ll be pleased to know that another special agent will arrive on Friday morning. They’ll look after you for four days.”

Megan’s heart pounded. “Are you coming back?”

“At this stage, I am.”

She’d always assumed William would stay with them for as long as it took for the terrorists to be caught. The thought of not seeing him again left her close to tears.

Megan pushed her hands into her jacket pockets. “We’ll miss you.”

William held her gaze for so long that she had to look away.

He moved away from the truck and stood in front of her. “I need to sort through a few things at work. I’ll call you if I’m reassigned to another job.”

With a sinking heart, Megan nodded. She knew William liked her and Nora, but would they ever be anything more than a job to him?

“It’s not that bad.” He tucked a strand of hair under her hat. “You’re safe here. Besides, by the time I come back, you could be getting ready to leave.
