I’m not sure what to say or do as I follow Hadley into the diner. I mean, there’s no way it could be possible… and yet…

“What did the woman look like?” I ask Hadley as we head toward a corner booth where Rhyland is sitting with a menu opened up in front of him.

Hadley shrugs. “Long brown hair, the same color of eyes as me… She honestly looked a lot like me and a lot of people say I look like my mom, so…” She shrugs again, biting on her bottom lip. “When I really think about it, though, it’s not like my looks are that unordinary. I’m sure there’s a ton of women out there that look similar to me.”

I try to bite back the words wanting to leave my lips, but fail. “Yeah, that’s not even close to being true.”

Her brows furrow. “Um, yeah, it’s completely true.”

I shake my head, words continuing to pour out of me. “You’re gorgeous, but what really makes you stand out are these.” I touch the tip of my finger to the corner of her eye. “When I first saw you, they nearly startled me.”

“My plain green eyes startled you?” she questions in doubt.

“Your big, bright green eyes startled me,” I explain. “Seriously, they’re so vibrant and big and…” I shake my head, feeling another soup moment coming on, you know the one where I once tried to flirt with a waitress by telling her she smelled like my favorite soup. “You have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen.” I bite down on my bottom lip to keep from saying anything else.

Hadley has made it pretty clear she wants to be friends with me and nothing more. And I should probably feel the same way, with everything I have on my plate right now. But I’m drawn to her in a way I can’t fully understand, a way that makes me very uncomfortable and apparently, sprout cheesy lines.

I wait for her to give me a lecture about flirting with her, but instead her cheeks flush a bit and she quickly turns around.

“But yeah, anyway, the woman looked a lot like me,” she mutters as she starts toward the booth again. “And that’s why, for a moment, I thought she was my mom.”

My stomach drops as she says this, worry filling my mind.

While I’m not sure what Hadley’s mom looked like, I saw the woman in the SUV that she thought resembled her mother and she looked very similar to the woman in the photo that was in the file my dad gave to me this morning. The woman we’re supposed to be robbing tonight.

What that means, I don’t have a clue, but it has me extremely worried, not only about Hadley, but about the heist tonight. What if the woman caught on to what we’re going to do? Could that be why she’s here?

I need to inform my father, but I worry he’ll dismiss my concern. And then what? Rhyland and I just go through with the plan tonight and hope we don’t get caught.
