Chapter Eight

“Thank God it’s Friday and we’ve got the weekend ahead of us,” Kit said, meaning it as she climbed into Noah’s Trans Am. Behind them, the Osprey sat docked in the shadowy dusk.

Noah gave her a quick glance while buckling up. “Ever since Aly visited, all hell has broken loose for us,” he griped. Driving slowly down the parking lot, Noah took off his officer’s cap, tossing it in the back seat.

“Three weeks of incredible work,” Kit added tiredly. “I really think Garcia’s deluging U.S. shores with boats to get our attention so he can make his big drop elsewhere without law enforcement interference.”

“I think you’re right.” Noah turned the car onto the street, heading for the on-ramp to the freeway that would take them home. The Osprey had intercepted at least two boats a day. It was as if someone were sending them in droves toward the Florida coast. His and Kit’s days started before dawn and rarely ended before nine or ten at night.

Kit leaned back and chuckled. “I don’t know if we want Aly to visit this Saturday, Noah. She was the harbinger of all this boat activity,” she teased.

Grinning, Noah nodded. “I’ll tell her it’s all her fault.” His eyes darkened. “Are you sure you don’t mind if she visits us again?”

“Of course not. I like your sister.” Aly had been the perfect buffer between Kit and Noah, easing the tension between them. Kit didn’t want to admit that living with him was like a wonderful dream come true. It was as if they were married—without the physical intimacy.

“She thinks an awful lot of you, too.” Noah studied Kit’s face in the light and darkness for a moment. Ever since she had cried in his arms, she had changed markedly for the better. No longer did she get up at night to pace the house. The shadows were almost gone from beneath her sparkling eyes, and she smiled more often. With a monumental effort Noah returned to the task of driving. Kit’s mouth was far too delicious, and there was too much danger in thinking about the one kiss they’d shared.

Yawning, Kit muttered, “I don’t know about you, but I’m dead on my feet. As soon as we get home, I’m going to have a bath and go to bed.”

“Good idea, because I’m sure Aly will show up bright and early on our doorstep tomorrow morning,” Noah said with a chuckle.

“She’s good for us. We need a laugh or two,” Kit returned with a smile. A feathery feeling tremored through her as Noah said “our” doorstep. The past few weeks had bound them inexorably to each other in simple but telling ways. And she knew without a doubt that Noah wasn’t really like Pete at all. Leaning back, she closed her eyes, looking forward to Aly’s effervescent visit. Yes, they all needed to laugh, kick up their heels and have a good time.

“Psst, Kit!” Aly leaned forward from where she sat on the couch with Noah, a bowl of popcorn in hand.
