She awoke alone in the big bed. For a few drowsy seconds it seemed entirely normal to have the bed to herself. Then she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar expanse of night sky outside the wall of windows. Her first clear thought was that there was too much darkness. Then she remembered that she was in Harry's bed, and she should not be alone. Harry should have been there with her.

She stirred and peered at the clock. The illuminated numbers informed her that it was nearly three in the morning. It didn't take ESP to figure out that Harry had left the bed to go back to the stack of proposals in his study.

Molly folded her hands behind her head and contemplated what she had learned about Harry. A pattern was emerging.

He had come to Seattle within a year after the deaths of his parents. She had no doubt but that he had told himself he wanted to make peace between the families in honor of his mother and father. But Molly suspected there was more to the story than that. Perhaps more than even Harry himself knew.

He'd had every right to turn to the Strattons and the Trevelyans after he'd found himself completely alone in the world. They were his blood kin. They had accepted him, but Molly was learning that the acceptance had come at a high price. Everyone wanted something from Harry.

Molly sat up abruptly and threw aside the covers. She got out of bed, tugged on her robe, and padded, barefoot, down the hall to Harry's study.

A shaft of light was visible through the half-opened door. Molly walked quietly into the room.

She knew that she had not made a sound on her way down the hall, but Harry must have heard her approach. He was seated behind his desk, watching the door, waiting for her. He was wearing a dark gray terry-cloth robe. The pattern of intensely contrasted light and shadow from the halogen lamp etched his stark features. His midnight dark hair was tousled from the pillow. His amber eyes glowed with the anticipation of a raptor that is just about to sink talons into prey.

Molly knew at once what had happened. “You found the proposal you were looking for?”

“About three minutes ago. Take a look.”

Molly crossed the room to the desk and glanced at the papers spread out in front of Harry. “I remember that one.” She craned her head to read the cover page. “Proposal for the Construction of a Device to Measure Paranormal Brain Waves, by Wharton Kendall. I liked it, but you vetoed it, the same way you did all the others.”

“Paranormal brain waves? Give me a break.” Harry shot her a disgusted look. “Kendall is the kind of inventor who gives other inventors a bad name. A classic crackpot. No solid scientific training. No formal technical background. No originality or true insight. And to top it off, he's into this damn paranormal garbage. I should have remembered this guy right off.
