The buzzer at the exterior door of the lab pulled Sabrina away from the monitor she’d been staring at for the past several hours. Her clock told her it was almost four.

“We’ve got company, Dr. Fleming.” Dave, the officer who’d escorted her to the lab, smiled. “But it isn’t unexpected. Let me go out and speak to him.”

“Okay.” It had taken her over an hour to get her new phone set up. She must have missed something. A phone call or a message maybe. Dave didn’t seem concerned. She’d been so focused on the video surveillance and the files she’d sent to Mike, she hadn’t even realized how late it had gotten.

A few clicks of the mouse and she had a view of what was going on in the hallway. Dave was standing outside the door chatting with a teenager holding a massive bouquet of . . . lavender roses.

No one but Adam would send her a bouquet like that.

She gripped the sides of the desk and pulled herself to her feet. She suspected the blast had pulled every single muscle in her body. She hurt in places she hadn’t known it was possible to hurt.

She shuffled her way out of her office.

“Dr. Fleming, these came for you.” Dave handed the flowers to her.

“Are you sure they’re safe?” She was only half joking.

“Yes, ma’am. I checked them out.”

Apparently, Dave wasn’t joking. Okay then. “Thank you.”

Sabrina carried the vase to her desk and positioned the flowers where she could see them regardless of which monitor she was using. She took several deep breaths, the fragrance soothing a place she hadn’t realized was agitated until it calmed.

There was no card, but she didn’t need one.

Adam had sent her flowers.

Flowers she actually liked, so unlike the garish red bouquet still sitting by the door where Darren had left it . . . had it been only yesterday?

Why would Adam send her flowers? He’d seemed very cold to her this morning. Not that she didn’t deserve it. She folded her arms on her desk and dropped her head. She was incredibly tired. And confused.

Her office phone rang. Adam’s number.

“Hey,” she said.

“Hey.”

“Thank you for the flowers.”

“How do you know they’re from me? I’m sure you have many ardent admirers.”

“It was you. And they are . . . stunning. Perfect. I keep staring at them. And they smell amazing.”

“I’m glad.” The pause that followed hummed with a kind of anticipation that sent a shiver down her spine. “Listen, I hate to be all business, but Gabe is trying to see who can meet here at the office around four thirty to compare notes. We have a lot of moving parts and right now none of them make much sense.”

Huh. Business hadn’t been the direction she’d been expecting their conversation to go. “Sure. I assume Dave can escort me?”

“He can.”

“Okay. I’ll see you then.” She should hang up and let it go, but she couldn’t. “Wait. Adam . . . why did you send the flowers?”

Silence. Had
