I sigh as I turn the Open sign to Close at the end of this crazy Saturday. Everyone had some sort of gossip they wanted to share with me. My suspect list should be as long as Santa’s naughty and nice list with the town accusing each other of killing Jamie. Of course, when I mentioned the hot stones being thrown through store front windows, everyone became stumped and the rumblings about various murder suspects stopped.

“Ready?” Josh leans against the door frame holding out a cup of Chamomile tea for me. “I noticed you didn’t finish yours earlier. I warmed it back up. Thought we could grab a pizza on the way home since we didn’t get to last night.”

“Thanks.” I take a sip of tea. It tastes a little different, but it’s still yummy. I take another sip then set it down on the counter and smile at him. “Actually, I want to go check on Violet at the hospital. Nikki texted me earlier and said she was asking to see me. I thought maybe I’d take Violet some dinner and visit with her. Old man Gus has been moved to the ICU so I thought I’d stop in and see him too.”

Josh frowns. “What if one of them killed Jamie?” He pauses. “You might be in danger, especially if either of them thinks we’re together.”

I fight the urge to roll my eyes. Haven’t I made it crystal clear Josh and I aren’t together? I mean, he was planning on going out with Jamie and I’m supposed to go on a date with James. Speaking of James, he texted me earlier and I’m planning to meet him for a walk in the park after my visit at the hospital. He even mentioned a moonlight picnic. Romantic, right? I need a little more romance and a lot less murder in my life so hopefully, I don’t have to cancel on him again.

“At least let me go with you.”

I open my mouth to object when there’s a knock on the spa door. I turn to find Travis’s face filling the window. Great, now I’m going to have to deal with two overprotective men. At this rate, I’ll never make it to the hospital or get my moonlight picnic. I sigh and unlock the door. “We’re closed.”

He smirks at me. “I know. I’m here to check out the red room.” He holds up a search warrant. “Word around town is you two got trapped in there today and there’s suspicion the hot stones sailing through business windows are missing from that room.”

My jaw drops open. “Who told you that?”

“I can’t give away my sources.”

I cross my arms and glare at him.

He glares right back and we end up in a staring contest or glaring contest before Travis blinks and gives in. “If you must know, it was anonymous tip left on the police hotline.”

I raise an eyebrow. “An anonymous tip?”

He nods and holds up his right hand. “I promise.”

“Fine.” I throw up my arms and stomp toward the red room.
