I don’t know what I’m more nervous about—finding out who’s trying to frame me or telling Patrick and the rest of my attorneys that I’ve been consorting under the covers with someone from the opposing team.

I know I don’t have to mention the under the covers part but they’re smart. They’ll know what’s going on the minute we walk through the room.

I could’ve said no to Eli but, honestly, I’m over it. Eli is right, Patrick will be pissed but he’ll get over it, he won’t have a choice. That still doesn’t make me any less nervous.

“Take this exit and then a sharp left.” As I give Eli directions, I do what I’ve perfected when I’m nervous. I play it cool, calm, and collected. I learned early on, my biggest weakness is letting others see my weaknesses, so I’ve learned to mask it. I had to. Too many people at MI wanted me to fail. Apart from this shit situation I’m currently in, I haven’t done too badly.

Eli captures my hand and hauls it across his console. “Everything’ll be fine.”

I roll my eyes. If I ever hear that again, I may shoot someone.

After I took a quick shower, I barely had time to pull my hair back and throw on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. Eli came in and helped himself to my toothbrush. When I frowned, he just shrugged and went about his business of making himself at home in my bathroom, washing his face and running a wet hand through his hair to straighten it. He had me out the door in record time which meant there was no time for coffee or breakfast and my stomach is complaining.

“It’s up here to the left,” I say as Eli rounds the last corner. Even running out the door, we’re a few minutes late. “When we get in there, I’ll introduce you and explain vaguely that we knew each other before I was served but I didn’t know you were an agent. Patrick is going to flip—it’s his nature but I know how to handle him. Just follow my lead and it’ll be fine. At least my dad won’t be here since they’re still entertaining guests at the ranch. Patrick said he didn’t want to bother him and we’d fill him in later.”

Eli parks on the street, down and across from the building. When he flips off the ignition he turns to me and hitches a brow. “Basically, you want me to shut up.”

I tip my head. “I put it nicer, but yes. Until I get the chance to lay it out for him. Oh, there he is.”

Patrick is parking his BMW in front of the building.

Eli grabs his keys. “This is your party. Just give me the signal when it’s okay for me to speak.”

I grab my purse and get out as he rounds the front of his truck to meet me. He’s beeping his locks when I ask, “What kind of signal would you like?”

He takes my hand and shrugs again.
