Chapter Eight

Francois kept his palm on Stanton’s lower back as they offered a quick explanation to Max, Lilibeth, and Jerome. Once done, he claimed they were going to take a minute to step away and make certain they wouldn’t have anything more than bumps and bruises from the encounter. Then they would have to give their statements to the cops before leaving.

“Did you want me to come with you?” Jerome offered, focusing on Stanton. He pointed. “I think I saw the first aid station in that direction.”

“Zat is unnecessary,” Francois countered... too quickly, judging by the narrowing of Jerome’s eyes. Thinking swiftly, he added, “Anzony is still on zee loose. I zink Rhyme would prefer you stay wiz Max and Lilibeth.”

“Uh huh,” Jerome muttered, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against the side of the booth. “Well, we’ll be here for a bit, probably.” His expression turned teasing as he glanced from Lilibeth to the ring toss game. “Lilibeth is”—he cleared his throat on a snicker—”having trouble.”

“Oh, shut it, you,” Lilibeth snapped, bumping his hip good-naturedly. “It’s not always about winning. I’m having fun.”

“If you say so,” Max commented with a laugh.

“We’ll see you in a bit,” Francois assured, then applied gentle pressure to Stanton’s back to get him moving. “Let’s go.”

Francois felt the hairs on his nape stand on end as he moved away from the trio, and he just knew if he glanced behind him, he would see Jerome watching them.

Overprotective big brother type. Huh.

While Francois wondered what caused that reaction, he was happy to wait until later to ask.

I am finally getting my beloved alone.

“Come zis way,” Francois urged. He removed his hand from Stanton’s back so he could grab his hand. Twining their fingers, he squeezed as he tugged lightly. “I was exploring zee other day and found a quiet place nearby.”

“Um. Okay.”

While Stanton sounded uncertain, he didn’t resist. Francois counted that as a win. The shadows lengthened as they passed the last couple of hanging lanterns. Having been planning to meet his beloved, Francois was prepared. He pulled a small flashlight from his jacket pocket and flicked it on.

“Were you a Boy Scout when you were young?”

Francois chuckled as he shook his head. “No, my beloved Stanton.” He winked as he added, “Grew up in France. No Boy Scouts of America over zere. I like to plan ahead.”

“Always a good policy,” Stanton commented. “Jerome says something similar about carrying condoms.”

“Oh?” While Francois had no desire to hear about Stanton’s past conquests, he couldn’t help but ask, “What does Jerome say about carrying condoms?”

Stanton chuckled under his breath. “It’s better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.”

Francois joined in as he nodded. Once he spotted the big rock near the crooked tree he’d been looking for, he veered toward them. “Zis way.”

After ducking under a tree branch, Francois turned sharply and slipped between some brush. He lifted several bushy pine limbs and held them, so Stanton could step past him.
