An hour later everything was settled. Will had, as Maggie predicted, objected to Kate’s participation. However, much to Maggie’s surprise, he had suggested that he himself accompany Joey the next day and on Monday morning. He would drive and escort Sam to the courtroom.

Kate had promised to find sunglasses for Joey that resembled the ones Sam wore. Plans were made for Joey after Sam left, so he wouldn’t be in any danger.

“You’re going to have to leave the apartment, too, sweetheart,” Josh said, a frown on his face.

Maggie didn’t think he even realized he’d addressed her with the endearment, but she enjoyed it anyway. “Why?”

“Because they’ll come inside to check after a while. I want you and Ginny out of here.” He was going over a list he’d made. Maggie was discovering how thorough he was.

“Can you go to the diner? Or I’ll pay for a hotel room for the day.”

“We can go back to my apartment.”

“That’s too far away. And you’d be alone. I want someone around, just in case.”

“What about Sam’s family?” she suddenly asked in a whisper. Sam again was watching television while they were in the kitchen. “What if they go after his family?”

“We sent them out of town yesterday afternoon.”

Yes, he was definitely thorough.

“Josh, we need to talk about Ginny.”

“Is something wrong with her?” he asked, sudden tension on his face.

Maggie reveled in the concern she saw there. He loved his baby girl, even if he didn’t realize it yet. “No, she’s fine. She’s playing in the playpen. But you need to think about providing for her. You have to designate someone as guardian for her in case—in case something happens.”

His frown deepened. “You’re right. I hadn’t thought of that. But accidents can happen to anyone, not just private investigators.”

Maggie wasn’t sure what he was trying to say. “I know that. But—”

“I’m not going to stop being a P.I.”

She shook her head in bewilderment. “Of course not.”

“Of course not?” He leaned forward. “You’re not telling me I need to change my job?”

“No. You’ll have to find someone to take care of Ginny with your odd hours. It doesn’t matter when you see Ginny, as long as you spend time with her. But—”

“Do you really mean that?”

Maggie felt as if she were wading through mud. It took a lot of energy with little to show for the effort. “Josh, I don’t understand what you’re getting at.”

“I know you don’t,” he agreed, and surprised her with a warm smile. “But that’s okay.”

“What I’m trying to say is you need to provide for Ginny.”

“Okay. Let me get a piece of paper.”

He left the kitchen, and Maggie sat at the table, still confused. He thought she would try to make him give up his job?

Almost at once he returned to the kitchen. “If something happens to me, will you take care of Ginny? I already know you love her.”

Warmth flooded through Maggie. Warm gratitude that he would trust her. Warm love for the wriggly little girl in the other room.
