The Summers Inn was a long, low building located on the northern edge of Summersville. It wasn’t much to look at, but the manager, a short, wizened guy called Jeb Harlan, was friendly, and the room was clean.

Ash felt a pang of regret leaving Wallace, but there was no way she could risk taking him. If, as she suspected, Rosen’s parents lived at the address, there was no way they’d talk to the man accused of murdering their son.

“I’ll be as quick as I can,” she assured Wallace. She hovered at the door, surprised to find herself reluctant to leave. She’d noticed how he hadn’t been able to take his eyes off her during dinner, and his gaze had electrified her. She hadn’t laughed so freely for longer than she could remember. She’d always pushed people away, but it was getting harder for her to ignore the feelings she was developing for Wallace. Were her emotions real? Did he feel the same way? Ash didn’t handle uncertainty well. She had to be sure.

She approached Wallace, who was standing by the television, trying to figure out the remote. He turned, surprised to see her drawing close. They stood facing each other, and Ash felt a force more powerful than gravity pull her toward him. The world around her shrank into insignificance as she wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him. There was no doubting his feelings for her. He pulled her close and held her tight. Ash felt a wave of excitement and longed to stay in Wallace’s arms, but this was new territory for her and she needed to move slowly. Besides, she had work to do.

“I need to go,” she said awkwardly as she retreated from him.

He looked at her with a stunned smile on his face. “Sure,” he responded, even more awkwardly.

“You going to be OK?” she asked.

“Yes,” he assured her. He shook himself from his daze, grabbed the remote and sat on the bed.

“Stay put, and don’t open the door,” Ash cautioned as she left the room.

“Be careful,” Wallace returned. He switched on the TV and the room filled with the sound of a crowd cheering: The Price is Right.
