Later, standing in the kitchen, Reese had just poured his first cup of coffee waiting for Quinn to finish getting dressed and was about to take a sip when his cell phone rang. He sighed and stepped to the back door to take in the view. He let himself enjoy several more seconds of blissful solitude and took in the glistening, calm water of Avalon Bay. Maybe after all this was over they could take some time off and enjoy more of what the Island had to offer.

Reluctantly, he left the peaceful outdoor view and went over, picked up his ringing cell phone.

“Reese Brennan,” he stated as he leaned over and automatically got out his laptop from the bag he’d brought.

“Mr. Brennan, is it? This is Nick Tyler. You e-mailed me about my daughter, Quinn, sent one e-mail to my attorney first and then sent another one to me. The last said there was no need for me to make the trip to America after all.”

To Nick, it sounded funny saying those three little words, “my daughter Quinn,” to a complete stranger, but what choice did he have? “Your last e-mail said to disregard the earlier one to Mr. Baines. Do I have that right?”

Taken aback by the caller, Reese had to think fast. “That’s correct. It isn’t necessary to come after all. We have the situation well in hand now and it was premature of me to alert you to any type of problem.”

“But that’s just it, Mr. Brennan. I have made the trip over to America to see my daughter. I’d like you to set up a meeting between us.”

Reese stuttered at the knowledge the man was in L.A., especially when he looked up and saw the daughter in question, who still looked rumpled from their bout of morning sex, stroll into the kitchen.

She took the cup of coffee out of his fist and drank deeply. “Mmm, who are you talking to at this hour of the morning, Brennan? Sheesh, you are a workaholic, so dedicated you’re on the clock, worse than me.”

Reese did his best to ignore her and get rid of the father she didn’t know he’d contacted behind her back. “Uh, uh, I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. As I said, the situation is under control now.”

Nick frowned. Maybe Gerald had been right. Maybe this was some kind of scam. “Look, do you know Quinn Tyler or not? If this is a ruse of some sort I’m in no mood to be played. My own attorney discouraged me from making the trip. But I’m here now and if you know Quinn I insist on seeing her.”

“Could I get back to you on that?”

“For chrissakes, are you telling me this is a bad time or what?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. This is a very bad time to talk right now.”

“Fine. But if you’re playing me…”

Reese cut him off. “I assure you my e-mail was genuine.”

“So you can set up a meeting? Can you do that?”

“Yes.
