Chapter Eight

In her car, Sonya stared at the text message. She wasn’t sure at what point it had come in. With one meeting after another with Kravers and a virtual meeting with the board of directors she’d placed her phone on silence. Her office phone was blowing up enough to make her want to snatch it out of the wall. She let her staff go a few hours ago. They would all have to return at six-thirty in the morning to speak with ACT agents and she wanted them to have a little free time with their families. There was no telling what tomorrow was going to bring or how long the investigation would go, so they might as well take the relief where they could get it.

It was late now. Almost eleven at night. She’d printed out and gone through every email and correspondence she’d made with any of her South African colleagues. Tomorrow she didn’t want it to be a single question the agents asked her that she didn’t have fresh knowledge about. If this situation came to her losing her job, even the Smithsonian wouldn’t take her. She’d find herself teaching elementary school kids art basics.

Taking a deep breath she pushed thoughts like that away. Tonight she was supposed to be at the first of three final rehearsals for her modern dance recital. But, she’d had to call Angela the director and head choreographer and tell her there was an emergency she had to take care of. She probably should have told her to cancel her part of the show or find another to do it. Letting people down was not her thing. She’d figure out a way to keep her word to the community company.

Hell, she wished she had gone dancing tonight. It had been her solace over the years, what she used to beat back all the pain and demons of her past. Now when she needed that outlet the most, she couldn’t get to it.

The best option before her was to head home, take a bath and try and close her eyes.

She tapped the button on her phone. The backlight from the display illuminated the interior of her car again.

When you want to talk…I’m here.

The last thing she wanted to do after today was ever talk again. However, if she couldn’t dance her troubles away, there was something else she could do.

Starting her car, she pulled out of her parking slot and left the museum.

“I’ve been worried about you.”

He looked good. Even dressed in a white, V-neck undershirt and sweat pants, Parker was sexy. The desire to lean against the broad chest, more evident in the undershirt than the dress shirts he normally wore. The fact that her mind played images of what he looked like under his clothing when they were married incited both her emotional and physical need.

“I know it’s late. I didn’t want to go home.”

“You’re welcome at any time, Sonya.” He pushed away from the door and stepped back. “Come in.
