As the kids had some time in front of the TV, Marcy stayed with Nathan and Mac in the kitchen. She checked her watch. “I told Carl I’d be home before his shift started at eleven. Do you want to come with me, Trish? Stay at our house?”

“No, I don’t wanna see Carl. And that’s the first place Rick will look for me.”

“Will he do that?”

“I’m not sure. But he isn’t going to leave me alone forever.”

“If you press charges, get a restraining order, he’ll have to.” This from Nathan.

“Would he? His cop buddies who show up could very well give him a slap on the hand. Abuse happens within their ranks, like Rick.”

Nathan touched her arm. “Stay here this weekend.”

“Thank you, but Rick will come here, too. He can guess where we went.” She cleared her throat. “He was jealous of you last night. That’s what made him attack you.”

“I can protect you.”

“No, I’m not putting anyone else in danger.”

Marcy’s brows shot up. “You can’t go back to your house.”

And Nathan’s upset showed on his face. “Let’s leave town, then. Go away for a while.”

“I hate running. I have to figure out an alternative while I heal. Some place I can stay until I go back to work on Monday night.”

“But where can you possibly go in town that’s safe?” Marcy asked.

“I—wait a minute. There’s somewhere he can’t get to me.” She picked up her phone. Typed in a number. “Eleanor, hello, it’s Trish Mackenzie.” She waited. “I’m afraid I need to take you up on your offer to help me if I ever needed anything…”

When she ended the conversation, Nathan asked, “Who’s Eleanor?”

“The mayor’s sister, the woman I told you about.” She explained the save to Marcy. “She’s still living at the mayoral mansion. It’s gated and there’s security.”

“Oh, that’s perfect.”

“You can’t tell anyone, Marce. Even Carl,” Nathan told her.

“I promise I won’t.” She squeezed Trish’s arm. “Do you want a ride there?”

“Let me take her. You have the boys and it’s best they don’t know either.”

“I guess they couldn’t keep her whereabouts to themselves.” She glanced at Nathan then back to Mac. “Can Nathan take you, Trish?”

“Yep.”

When his family left, Nathan dropped down next to her. Though she hinted at her feelings for him, he wouldn’t push anything on her now. “When is Eleanor expecting you?”

“In an hour.”

“What will you do without any of your belongings? Your car?”

“I’ll figure that out. Right now, I’m going dressed in the clothes I wore last night.”

“You can borrow a clean shirt to wear with your jeans.

“Thanks.”

They both stood. “Nathan, I should say thank you for all you did for me last night, but that sounds like a brush off. Will you come spend some time with me at the mayor’s house?”

Despite the circumstances, her invitation made his heart sing.
