CHAPTER

FIFTEEN

THERE WERE SOME THINGS A GUY JUST DIDN’T WANT to tell his wife.

Now Ezra was perfectly fine telling Lena almost everything … even the fact that he’d been speaking with a beautiful woman on the job. After all, it was related to the job.

The one thing he didn’t want to tell her, though, was how this beautiful woman was somehow connected to her. It was, he knew, something he should have already told her. He hadn’t, though. For months, it hadn’t been much of an issue. After all, the case had been closed.

But then, Nia Hollister had shown up in town and as much as he would have liked to brush her off, he hadn’t been able to. Every instinct inside him had started to scream when she told him why she was there.

Joe Carson had been too easy. Part of him had suspected it all along. Which was why he’d quietly been poking into things on his own. Although he hadn’t let anybody know, he’d been doing just that for months.

But granted, there wasn’t much he could do when no crimes were being committed, when there wasn’t really any evidence, no reason to open a case that had been closed.

Not until Nia Hollister had shown back up. The hair thing—that was something, but not enough. The jewelry thing, too. Then her little nighttime visitor. Yeah, things were adding up.

And he needed to talk to Lena. But hell, he wasn’t looking forward to it.

As he made his way into the kitchen at the Inn, he saw Roz Jennings in the hallway, talking animatedly on the phone, her blue eyes bright with either amusement or irritation—sometimes with her it was hard to say. She saw him and gave him a distracted wave. He smiled back and kept walking. His leg was hurting like a bitch, but he ignored it, knowing it was more stress than anything else.

A way for his brain to focus on something else.

Like the fact that after he’d hung up the phone, he hadn’t been able to hang around the house and wait for Lena to get off work.

Of course, he could have waited outside the Inn, but if he’d done that, somebody would have said something and it would have gotten back to Lena, and she would have come looking for him. So he might as well get it over with and let her know he was here, that he’d drive her home.

And when she asked why he was doing that, he’d just tell her he was a paranoid son of a bitch and he didn’t plan on letting her out of his sight for the foreseeable future …

“Yeah, that’s going to go well,” he muttered just before he pushed open the door to the kitchen.

Puck was lying in front of the island, his head resting on his paws, but as though he’d known Ezra was coming, the retriever’s tail was already wagging. Lena’s head turned to the door. Black lenses shielded her sightless eyes. She always wore them when she wasn’t home.
