CHAPTER SEVEN

WHILE SHE CONSIDERED his comment, Dexter’s face remained impassive, as if emotions were simply not allowed to pass across it. She swallowed hard and then bestowed on him a wry smile.

“Excuse me,” she said, lowering her voice. “And do you have any suggestions on how I might ask you more nicely? What if I said please?”

He moved closer to her but still didn’t touch her, though that hardly seemed possible. “I’m not sure that a simple please will do it.”

“Not even if I said it really nicely?” Clem shifted. His scrutiny was disconcerting, and Clem felt the force of his presence surround her, engulf her. It was almost as if she could feel him touch her cheek, her temples, the nape of her neck. But his hands remained in his pockets. Then his gaze went to her locket.

She self-consciously brought a hand up to it. “My parents gave this to me,” she said in explanation.

He didn’t say anything.

She cleared her throat. “You probably believe I won’t be very good. But I will be. I’m very familiar with the area, no matter what you think about me.” She couldn’t help the defensiveness that crept into her voice.

“You have no idea what I think about you.”

“I’ve got a pretty good idea.”

“Really, now?”

She swallowed, trying to moisten her throat. “I bet you think I’m some sort of princess who’s been waited on all her life. And you think I’m only happy if the world revolves around me. Mostly, you think I shouldn’t be doing this job.”

“And you’d be wrong on all accounts.”
