CHAPTER TWELVE

“WHERE IS MY favorite bodyguard?” Juliette asked when Kelly arrived at the station Thursday morning. She had picked up her car yesterday afternoon and got to drive herself to work for the first time in forever. Donovan was supposed to meet her here.

“You shouldn’t get so attached. I’m starting to think my secret admirer has gone into hiding. I might not need a bodyguard for much longer.”

“Oh, I’m so torn! I don’t want anyone to stalk you, but I kind of enjoy having the detective around. My husband’s stomach likes him, too.”

Kelly needed to take her own advice about getting attached because like Juliette and her husband, she also liked having Donovan around a bit too much. It had been over a week since Kelly’s stalker had left the apology note on her door. Juliette did not recognize Hunter in the photo Donovan showed her. Donovan wasn’t convinced that meant he wasn’t still a suspect. He made Kelly order from Johnny’s Grill one night this week. When Hunter showed up, Donovan was the one to answer the door and pay for the food. It was a test, but if that was supposed to make Hunter jealous and push him to act out, it didn’t work or Hunter wasn’t the guy they were looking for.

There had been no stalker activity all week. No gifts, no notes, no phone calls. Nothing. The guy had never gone more than a couple days without making contact. Maybe getting the police involved had scared him off.

The elevator pinged and Donovan stepped out dressed much more casually than the first day they had met. Later this evening, they had to attend a concert at Ryman Auditorium where Kelly was emcee. Dressed in a black button-down and dark denim jeans, Donovan was looking more like a hot date than a bodyguard. He also was holding a tray of coffees.

“Good morning, Detective,” Juliette greeted him and was the first to receive a drink.

“Sorry that I’m late. I stopped to get you guys some coffee. Juliette, yours is a latte with sugar-free vanilla.”

“It’s a good thing my husband loves the recipes you share with me or else he would be very jealous of how much I love you.”

He pulled another drink out of the carrier and handed it to Kelly. “Chai latte for Miss Bonner.”

He paid attention to things Kelly didn’t realize he had noticed about her. Between the way he looked and the kind gesture, her heart skipped a few beats.

“Thank you, Detective Walsh,” she said, gratefully accepting the drink. “You didn’t have to do that.”

“I am celebrating one week without any calls from the high school about Graham. He’s gone to all of his classes. Stayed out of trouble. We only have to get him through one more week and some finals and he will successfully finish the year.”

Kelly was so proud of Graham. He didn’t have an easy time at school with some of the bullying going on. Since they had talked about the issues last week, he had begun to open up more and more about school and his classes.
