We froze.

“Alice told you to fuck off,” Lake said. “So fuck off.”

I stood up slowly, easing my arm out of Sean’s grip as he stared at the federal agent who was aiming a gun at his head. “Lake.” Everything was a little out of focus, and I shook my head to clear it. “I’m okay. Put the gun down.”

“When he backs off.” Lake’s eyes were fixed on Sean’s face.

“No, put it down now.” I reached out slowly to push his arm down. “He’s not a threat. I lost my temper and tripped. We’re fine.”

Reluctantly, Lake lowered the gun to his side.

“Alice, are you all right?” Sean asked.

I hung onto the door frame with one hand. “I’m fine. I just need to go sit down.”

“You should leave,” Lake told Sean. “She’s been through enough tonight.”

My expression went flat. “This is my house, Agent Lake. I decide who stays and who goes. You can both leave.”

“You shouldn’t be alone,” Lake told me, holstering his gun.

“I need some time to myself to deal with this.” I stepped past him into the house.

Lake touched my arm. Sean’s expression hardened. Lake either didn’t notice his reaction or didn’t care. “What are your plans for tonight?” the federal agent asked.

“I plan to continue to toast Mark’s memory and maybe sleep later, if I can.”

Lake’s eyes narrowed.

“More whisky won’t help,” Sean told me, his eyes still on Lake.

“Maybe, maybe not.” I reached for the door. “But it’s all I’ve got right now.”

“Call me if you need me,” Sean said.

I shut the door.
