From the passenger seat, Isabelle looked down the driveway to Daniel’s front door as Mac started the engine. Daniel could hardly get them out of there fast enough.

“He’s lying,” Isabelle said, just as Mac said the same thing.

As they pulled away from the driveway and onto the road, Isabelle began to realize how much she’d wanted their suspicions to be false. For Kayla’s sake, but also for her–so that she hadn’t been involved with someone she obviously hadn’t really understood.

Daniel had been to the commune, touched the photo after Kayla had left. He must have known she’d left and that the baby had been born by now. Isabelle slowly shook her head. Even though she’d been in love with him, even read him, she’d never have predicted this.

As Mac navigated onto Pacific Coast Highway, the traffic slowed. Cars, vans and the occasional motorhome were parked next to the beach. Surfers were changing into and out of wet suits from the trunks of their cars and fathers were carrying coolers, chairs, and big umbrellas as they trudged through the sand to the water.

“I know it’s not what you were hoping for,” Mac said, taking her hand.

His eyes lingered on hers for a moment before returning to the road. He settled both their hands onto her thigh and his fingers gently squeezed hers. Isabelle focused on the traffic ahead of them.

She was going to have to tell Kayla. It’d be hurtful and hard to believe but she had to know. Isolated on the commune, someone had told her that Daniel was dead. Who had that been? Geoffrey? Maurice? Had the rest of the people there played along? Let Kayla suffer? Or maybe they hadn’t even met him. He said he’d never wanted it. That at least appeared true. He was obviously no minimalist. Suddenly a thought occurred to her.

“How does he afford to live there?” she said, leaning forward and glancing up the cliffs to their left. “What kind of computer work could he be doing?”

For an answer, Mac squeezed her hand again.

“You’ve done what Kayla asked you to do,” he finally said.

“If he was at the commune only seven months ago, how did he…”

With traffic stopped at a red light, Mac was looking directly at her. His face was serious–a little too serious.

Wait.

“You’ve done what you promised,” he said. Oh, no, no, no. He can’t be serious. The light changed. “It’s a matter for the FBI,” he said, his tone soft. “It really is.”

Though she’d nearly been ready to get angry, something in Mac’s voice stopped her. He hadn’t actually told her not to interfere. He hadn’t ordered her to butt out. In fact, he’d purposely avoided anything like that.

He doesn’t want to argue.

Her anger quickly evaporated and her stomach tightened at the memory of how she’d felt after she’d been so curt. It’d been awful. The results had been even worse. She realized she was sitting forward in her seat and slowly sat back.

She didn’t want to argue either.
