RAFE SHUT THE DOOR, locking it behind his brother and sister-in-law. Then he set the burglar alarm. “First thing tomorrow I’m calling the alarm company and having a perimeter alarm installed,” Rafe said.

“Isn’t that what you have?” Sara asked.

“No. I have one that just hits the main doors and entrances. Truth is, I only installed an alarm at all because I’m rarely here. The crime rate is so minimal, nothing more was necessary.”

Sara bit the inside of her cheek. Guilt was already eating away at her. If she had been the target of the fire, she’d caused fear and aggravation for his family, not to mention the cost of the destruction of the booth.

“I don’t want you to spend more money on the alarm system because of me. If you didn’t need it before, you don’t need it now.”

“Don’t argue. It’s necessary. You came here to feel safe, and I intend to make sure you stay that way. Besides, it’s never a waste of money to invest in a better alarm system.” He shut the light in the kitchen and walked over to where she sat on the couch, sitting down beside her. “What’s wrong?”

“I just don’t want to cause problems for your whole family. Maybe I should go back to the city.”

He raised an eyebrow. “If you do, I’m going with you. Then we’ll have to have a state-of-the-art alarm system installed in your apartment and on the main front door, which will only piss off the landlord. So? What’s it going to be?”

“Okay, you can upgrade the alarm here.” But she’d pay him back, no matter how much he argued.

A satisfied grin settled over his face.

He was sexy when he was worried, sexy when he was happy, sexy when he had a satisfied grin on his handsome face. Boy, she had it bad, Sara thought.

“Earth to Sara?” Rafe waved a hand in front of her face.

“Sorry, I was distracted,” she said, shaking her head. “What did you say?”

“I asked if you thought Biff and Todd seemed like possible suspects.”

She wasn’t surprised he’d asked. He’d disliked them on sight. Besides, they’d begun to make her uncomfortable with the way they were constantly around. “They’re odd, but I already discounted them because when they checked in, they said they’d had the reservations way in advance. We could ask Angel, but I have a feeling they’re telling the truth.”

“Yeah, odd doesn’t necessarily make them criminal. But I’m keeping an eye on those two.”

Sara nodded. “I think that’s a good idea.”

“Thanks for going easy on Angel. I think Nick took his cue from you,” Rafe said.

“She didn’t mean any harm.”

“Now do you see what I mean about how hard it is to live here, everybody in everyone else’s business? To Angel, telling the Bachelor Blogger about you was just like telling her next-door neighbor.”

She curled her legs beneath her, getting more comfortable. “Actually, I think it’s kind of nice. Do you realize that in the city we rarely ever see our neighbors? We rarely see our friends unless we make a huge effort! Around here, people care about each other.
