23 Danielle

Danielle fumbled to pull out her phone and snapped a rapid set of pictures, all while her heart continued to gallop in her chest cavity. If that was Hank . . . well, what did that prove?

She climbed into her minivan just as Trevor walked out the doors. Their eyes caught, held. Danielle held her breath, wondering if Trevor would approach her again.

She released the pent-up air, swaying slightly from lightheadedness, when he turned away and headed toward his car.

She rubbed her damp palms up and down her chilled arms. The officers who’d been in the restaurant pulled up beside her in a beige sedan.

“You okay?” the one nearest her asked.

Was she? Mansfield held more than just the memories of Jonathan’s murder. Something about her presence seemed to ripple through the air, causing a faint rumble at the very foundations.

“I will be,” Danielle murmured. She glanced over. “Do you know if you guys got all that—what Trevor and I said—on tape?”

The driver leaned forward so that Danielle could see his face. Sharp jaw, almost a cruel line to his mouth. “We got it.”

“All right. Well, I’m going home.”

“We’ll escort you.”

Danielle shivered, considering the car she thought held her father and the look on Trevor’s face when he met her gaze through her windshield.

“I’d appreciate that,” she said.
