Chicago’s Symphony Center – Saturday Evening

After everything that had happened between her and Gabe since the murder of Olivia Davenport, Angel felt more than her share of guilt, especially after what her unselfish partner did for her late Friday. Gabe had gotten a call from the Chief of Detectives asking for an update on their investigation into the Davenport murder. Her partner was the senior member of their team, and he had been contacted by the chief to update him and the Superintendent of Police on the high profile case.

Her partner didn’t have to include her, but he asked her to attend. Better yet, he encouraged her to do most of the talking. He gave her face time with the brass when he didn’t need to, and she appreciated his generosity. Taking the case had been her brilliant idea from the start. She wanted exposure to the top dogs, but it had been Gabe who made sure she got quality time with the brass.

Angel had tried to thank him, but Gabe played down his part as usual. That made her feel like an idiot about turning him down for a ride to Ethan’s performance—among other things—but she couldn’t take anything back now.

After she parked, Angel headed down the block to the Symphony Center with her weapon in her clutch purse. Although she hadn’t intended to work at the event, Rachel had obligated her and Gabe to keep an eye out for Ethan until suitable private security could be arranged.

But that didn’t make dressing for the event any easier.

She’d lost count on how many times she had changed her clothes. She hadn’t felt girly in a long time. Working with mostly men, it was easy to forget she had a feminine side. After Manny died, she hadn’t felt up to the challenge of dressing for a formal occasion. Although she felt confident enough in her simple black cocktail dress and burgundy velvet shawl, who the hell was she kidding? She was a fish out of water in high heels that hurt her feet and pantyhose that made her feel hemmed in.

Having Gabe with her would have been a comfort. He’d have her back whether she deserved it or not, but it was too late for that.

Angel handed over her ticket at the front door and walked into the intimidating Symphony Center alone. She stared into the vaulted ceilings and dangling chandeliers, not knowing what to do or where to go exactly. Everyone else looked as if they belonged. The massive atrium hummed with the voices from a crowd dressed in everything from formal attire, to fancy cocktail dresses and suits. She felt the same stir of excitement as everyone anticipated the performance of Ethan Chandler.

This was Ethan’s world, and she was a stranger to it. The last thing she expected was for Gabe and his lie detector blue eyes to be on her mind.

Backstage, Cronan pulled at his necktie, feeling the pinch of its stranglehold on him. Dressing up during the week was one thing, but getting pretty in his best dark suit on the weekend encroached on his time.
