Chapter 17

Bethany stared at the piles of invoices on the table. Her eyes started to burn with irritation. It always happened when she spent a lot of time reading the small print. She pulled her glasses out of her purse and put them on.

Bethany didn’t wear them very often, and she could probably get away with not wearing them at all since her laser eye surgery. It didn’t correct her vision to perfect, but when she strained her eyes, the glasses helped ease it.

She picked up another invoice and took note of the order, how much, and which pharmacy. Bethany noticed the name of who placed the order was not on all the invoices. The company required the contact name on every invoice, but Randy left that line blank on most of the orders.

Bethany had a pile that had all the required information and seemed like they were legitimate invoices. There was another pile that was suspicious, and the last collection from the pharmacy that Craig already called and confirmed they hadn’t placed any of the orders.

“That’s the girl I remember.” Bethany glanced up at the sound of Aaron’s voice.

“Did you forget me since you left this morning?” She laughed.

“Not a chance, but when we met, you were wearing those cute glasses that matched the color of your eyes.” Aaron stalked toward her.

“I hate glasses, and I only wear them when my eyes are tired.” Bethany turned in her chair as he crouched in front of her.

“You’re beautiful.” Aaron cupped her cheek.

“Maybe you need glasses. I’ve been hunched over these invoices since you left, my hair is in a messy pile on top of my head, and dressed in an old t-shirt and yoga pants. Beautiful is not a word I would use right now.” Bethany’s breath caught with his intense gaze.

“You could be covered with tar and feathers, and you’d still be the most beautiful woman in the world to me.” Aaron leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.

“You look tired.” Bethany ran her fingers through his hair as he pulled his lips from hers.

“It’s been a long, shitty day.” Aaron pulled a chair next to her and sat down.

“I’m sorry you had a bad day.” Bethany touched his cheek.

“Remember Denise Rowan?” Aaron linked his fingers with hers.

“Yes, I remember Raquel’s shadows very well.” Bethany nodded.

“Trust me, she’s not like that girl from high school anymore. She’s raising her three younger siblings on her own. She’s working two jobs to do that.” Aaron leaned back in the chair.

“Wow, that’s a lot of responsibility.” Bethany managed to show a little empathy.

“Remember Quintin at the high school?” Aaron was playing with the birthstone ring on her finger.

“Yeah.”

“He’s her brother. Her mom remarried but the hard part was today we pulled the older brother of the three siblings out of St. John’s Harbor. Not only that, I found out Levi was running around with the guy that killed Randy.” Aaron tipped his head back and blew out a breath.

“Do you know how to find him?” Bethany hoped so because she wanted to get back to a normal life.
