Chapter Nineteen

‡

The next stop after the cafe was the sheriff’s station and Wyatt had made Toni sit in the waiting room while he disappeared in the back, supposedly reviewing the case file and evidence. She would have been more annoyed with him but she was well aware that she wasn’t a cop, a consultant, or even an amateur sleuth. She didn’t even read mysteries, enjoying horror stories instead.

She’d kept busy reading her emails and playing games on her phone until he finally reemerged, his lips a grim line and his expression shuttered. It must have been quite ugly in there. He’d probably looked at graphic crime scene photos. Suddenly she was glad he’d made her sit out here.

She opened her mouth to question him about what he saw but he shook his head, and pointed outside to where his truck was parked. “We’ll talk out there.”

He helped her into the passenger seat and then slid behind the wheel, firing up the engine.

“Do you want to go back to the cafe and pick up your car?”

“I want to hear what you learned,” she replied, impatiently tapping her fingers on the leather seat. “I don’t care about my vehicle.”

It was safely locked and there was nothing of value in it.

“You will later,” he countered. “I’ll drop you at your car and we’ll head to my place. We can talk there.”

From the set of his jaw, Toni knew not to argue. She’d seen that expression before but of course, Carla had never heeded the warning, which always led to a huge, loud argument.

Stop thinking about her. You’re not like her, and he’s not thinking of her. Probably.

Did he think about Carla from time to time? Remember the good times in the beginning when he’d fallen in love? Did he wish they hadn’t ended?

Way to torture yourself. Why don’t you just picture them having sex?

Except that she couldn’t picture them doing that. Carla always seemed too fussy to get naked and sweaty and Wyatt would definitely get down and dirty. For all his quiet restraint, Toni just knew there was the heart of a wild man underneath the veneer of civilization.

Don’t even think about it. He doesn’t want that. You. Forget it.

When they reached his farm, he insisted they start the ziti and get it in the oven first thing. She’d sighed long and loud to let him know she wasn’t amused but it was clear he wouldn’t be rushed. Perhaps he needed the time to organize his own thoughts. She’d give it to him – grudgingly.

“This kitchen smells amazing,” she sighed as she gave the bubbling tomato sauce another stir. Wyatt was draining the al dente pasta and the steam billowed upwards, hot enough to open her pores. “I love Italian food.”

He dumped the pasta into a huge glass bowl along with a generous amount of ricotta cheese mixed with egg and parmesan. “This is one of my favorite recipes. It tastes good reheated as well.”

She sniffed at the pan, the aroma of garlic and tomatoes making her stomach growl.
