This time when I filled out the paperwork to visit Heath, my visit was approved instantly. As was Liam’s, and I followed him through to the visitor’s room. The big space had the same unpleasant smell of cheap disinfectant, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in light but were marred by ugly security bars. There was no attempt at decoration, just a bunch of scuffed tables and chairs spread out haphazardly around the space.

Liam scrunched his nose up at the grubby table we were assigned and avoided touching it, like it was the seat of a public toilet.

I couldn’t help laughing at him. “Don’t want to get your Armani suit dirty?”

He glanced over at me. “Would you? This thing is worth thousands, and it’s my favorite. I don’t know what I was thinking, wearing it here. I forgot I’d have to do this interview in the visitor’s room. That’s your fault, you know? I’m totally sending you the dry-cleaning bill.”

I gaped at him. “How is it my fault?”

“Normally I’d get an interview room. But since you’re tagging along, I can’t get us in there. I tried pulling strings with one of the guards, but it was a no-go.”

“Jesus,” I grumbled. “And you called me Cinderella. Who’s being a princess now?”

He grinned, inching closer to me, until his leg brushed mine beneath the table. “Speaking of last night…”

I didn’t look at him. “What about it?”

“I can’t stop thinking about it.”

I tried to hide a grin. “Well, being in a drive-by shooting is quite a traumatic experience. It’s understandable it might be on your mind.”

His mouth moved close to my ear. “That’s not what I spent all night thinking about.”

A tiny shiver ran down my spine. “You didn’t sleep?”

“Couldn’t. I just kept thinking about what I could have been doing if I’d asked to go inside with you.”

I glanced around the room. We’d been the first in the visitor’s line, but now that we’d been in here a few minutes, the place was filling up. Other prisoners were already at tables with their families, but there was still no sign of Heath. I lowered my voice, hoping the buzz of the people around us would give us a tiny bit of privacy. “Did you want to knit, too?”

He sniggered. “Not exactly what I had in mind. Unless…do you do that naked? I could get on board if it’s naked knitting.”

I stifled a giggle right as a shadow fell over me.

Heath.

Guilt instantly swamped me, and I jumped up. “Hey!” I said it a little too loudly. My gaze fell to the cuffs around his wrists. On instinct, I moved in to hug him.

He sidestepped, right as a voice across the room barked, “Donovan! Keep your hands to yourself or you’re out.”

My mouth dropped open, my gaze sliding past Heath and straight onto Rowe.

He smirked at me.

Did the man ever take a day off? I smiled sweetly and flipped him the bird.

“Leave her alone, Rowe,” Liam called out. “She’s with me.”

I gaped at him. “You know each other?”

“He’s the guard I know.
