Ten minutes later, he and Laura were walking through the hotel lobby. He had the ticket out, ready for the concierge to retrieve his car, when he recognized a figure standing in front of the lofty automatic glass doors.

Bishop’s step faltered.

What was Willis doing here?

When his second-in-charge recognized him too, he waved and came forward. Bishop slid a sidelong glance at Laura. He and Willis were friends. Willis knew he’d been married and how badly it had ended. But he didn’t want to explain this to the younger man here or now.

As Willis joined them, Bishop made succinct introductions. “Willis McKee, this is Laura.”

Willis took her hand. “Pleased to meet you.”

“Bishop tells me you’re his new assistant,” Laura inquired.

Willis cocked a brow. “I wouldn’t have said new.”

“Willis and I have known each other a while now,” Bishop chipped in. “Laura, can you excuse us for a minute?” Taking Willis’s elbow, he led him off to a quiet corner.

When they were alone, Bishop’s no-problem exterior cracked. He never had a day off. Now he was being hounded by the man he knew could handle the job, and for more than twenty-four hours. Nothing could be this important.

“What are you doing here?”

“You didn’t answer your phone or emails last night,” Willis replied, no sign of a tail between his legs. “And these guys are keen, Sam. Dead keen. They’ve been on the phone yesterday and already this morning. They want to look at the books as soon as possible.” Willis’s eyes narrowed and he crossed his arms. “You’re still interested, right? I mean, I understand—” he flicked a glance Laura’s way “—you’re busy. But Laura? I thought you were seeing an Annabelle.”

“Laura’s my wife. Ex-wife to be precise.”

Willis’s jaw hit the ground. “Your what? From what you’d told me, I got the impression there was more chance of a blizzard descending on the Simpson than you two getting back together.”

Bishop rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah, well, it’s complicated.”

“If you don’t mind me saying, the vibes I get are more of the plain and simple variety.”

“Laura had an accident Friday,” he explained. “That’s why I left early.”

Willis took another longer look. “She seems fine now.”

“She’s great…except for the fact that two years of her life have been erased.”

Willis took a moment. “You mean amnesia? And she thinks you and she…” Groaning, Willis held his brow. “Oh, man.”

Bishop nodded. “Complicated.”

“What’re you going to do?”

“I went along at first because I didn’t have much choice. Laura thought we were still married. The doctor said if I kept a close eye on her, she could go home. So we spent some time together, and as the hours and days went on…” He rolled back his shoulders, forming the words carefully in his mind before uttering a one. “I’m wondering whether we might not be able to save what we had.”

Bishop respected this man; they were friends, but this was extremely private. Should he have been this open? It wasn’t usually his style. Still, now the words were out, he knew he’d needed to say them out loud.
