CHAPTER SEVEN

WARD glanced frowningly at his watch.

Anna had been gone for over half an hour, having told him she would be about ten minutes.

He looked at Missie. She was fast asleep, curled up on the blanket on the back seat of his car. Checking that a window was open enough to let in fresh air for her, he climbed out of the car and locked it, setting out in the direction Anna had taken.

He found her less than five minutes later, standing next to a car filled with plants. She had her back to him and her face was turned up towards that of the man standing next to her, who, if his besotted expression was anything to go by, was thoroughly enjoying the experience. As Anna's soft laughter rang out, Ward was suddenly stabbed by a surge of dislike for her male companion that was so strong, it literally momentarily deprived him of breath.

Angrily he told himself that the feeling pounding through him was caused merely by his apprehension that Anna's companion might inadvertently have said something to her to make her suspicious of his own supposed relationship with her, thereby foiling his plans to punish her, and that it had nothing to do with something more personal—something, in fact, which was far, far more dangerous.

Anxiously he hurried towards Anna but, as Ward approached her, the man with her reached out and touched her arm, drawing her closer to him in order to allow someone to pass her. As he saw the man put his hand on Anna's arm, a murderous flash of emotion sliced through Ward. Without knowing how he had got there he suddenly discovered he was standing at Anna's side, his gaze challenging the other man's right to touch her.

'Oh, Ward!' Anna exclaimed. His appearance at her side had both startled her and somehow made her feel a little guilty. 'I'm sorry I was so long,' she said, mistaking the cause of his black-browed look. 'There was a long queue at the till and then I was just on my way back when I bumped into Tim.'
