Chapter 14

Cyrus

I knew the diner was usually dead this time of night. The only people there were Felicity and one of her waitresses, a teenage girl who was still in braces. Felicity seemed shocked to see someone come in so close to closing but happily handed me a menu when I sat down.

“I’m meeting someone,” I told her.

She placed a second menu on the table with a smile. “Let me know if you need anything. Allison will be taking care of you, but I’ll be in the back.”

I knew Felicity and Josie were close, but I wasn’t sure how much Felicity knew about the plan, if anything.

I thanked her and she went back to the kitchen while Allison folded silverware into napkins. She brought over my water and checked on me, but I told her it would be a few minutes. She went back to her task and the place was eerily quiet.

When the front door swung open, bells chimed and caused poor Allison to jump. She was so lost in her task and the thoughts in her head, that the sudden noise startled her.

“Welcome to Smothered in Love,” she said cheerfully. “Oh, hi Josie! How are you?”

I looked up and saw Josie walking near the front of the restaurant. She was in her usual work gear, the yoga pants and her hair piled high in a messy bun. No makeup, but she didn’t need any. She was gorgeous just the same. She gave me a nervous smile as she made small talk with Allison. I couldn’t hear what she was saying; she leaned in close to Allison as the two talked. Allison glanced outside with a serious look. I followed her gaze to the big windows overlooking the street, and instantly, I saw what they were looking at.

A man was leaning against a car parked on the street. He was just standing there, staring into the windows and there was a camera in his hands.

Allison went to the back, and I hurried over to Josie.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“Oh, it’s probably nothing,” Josie said, wringing her hands. “That guy out there is just giving me the creeps. I noticed his car was behind me for a while, and I thought I’d lost him when I pulled into the parking lot, but now he’s standing out front. He took some photos as I walked inside. I think…” She glanced outside. “Well, I’m pretty sure that might be the private eye Wade hired.”

My hackles were raised. I looked at Josie, saw the fear in her eyes. Then I looked back outside. The guy was so fucking cocky, just standing out in the open, not even trying to hide. He was trying to intimidate her.

“I’ll take care of him,” I growled.

Josie grabbed my arm. “Allison is calling the sheriff. I’m trying to act normal, just in case it’s nothing, but—”

“He took pictures of you?”

“I think so, but maybe I’m wrong?”

I looked back outside. The man was looking right at us through the windows.
