KAVIN looked forward to the opera. Something refined and elegant at the end of their arduous week. Duncan had worked miracles with Gaston yesterday, and then with the lawyers today. Lynda was satisfied as far as accountability, permits, and Revealing’s interests were concerned; and the ever helpful Sherri stayed ahead of the game in a new capacity as investigation liaison.

They still needed to adjust budgets, recast sales and staffing, modify the value of Bonneau Parfums, and a host of other details, but he’d supervise that when he returned home. The flailing venture would delay profits but it wouldn’t cancel them. Words to live by. Thank you, God.

Couldn’t top that he was getting ready to spend an elaborate evening in Sherri’s company. Couldn’t stop the smile that crept across his lips either. Kavin paced the suite, adjusting his cuffs. It’s not a date, but he’d been relieved he suggested an outing before she got into conversation with that taxi driver. Who knows, she might have ended up going out with the loser.

Sherri had been sitting too far behind the driver to see how his hands had revved and molded the steering wheel, which only told Kavin the guy was a jerk with a wedding ring. But Kavin was pretty sure the driver had been hitting on her behind his smiles and rearview-mirror glances into the backseat. It came in the fluctuations in his voice. Sometimes there was a tone to a man’s advances that transcended language.

There’d be another language tonight; at least Kavin could interpret the stories of an opera. Opting for a necktie, he slung it around his open collar when someone banged on his door. He roomed on a floor of executive suites, the rest of his team a couple of floors down. It wasn’t quite time to meet up with the others, and hotel staff would have announced themselves. He backed up from the mirror and stared over at the door for a second. Hotel staff wouldn’t have banged.

Opening the door, his first instinct was to smile, but Sherri’s features held a vacant haunt that deeply worried him.

“I didn’t know…” She sucked in breath and spoke at the same time, “…where else to go.”

Staving a sudden fear wanting to seize him, he reached for her arm and pulled her inside as her sob broke. Was she hurt? Micro quivers sprinted through her frame as he helped her to the living space and set her on the couch. He darted to the kitchen for water. One hand already opened the fridge when he contemplated the amenities standing beside it. Grabbing a room temperature bottle off the breakfast bar, he twisted off the cap and approached Sherri, but she didn’t move, not even to take the bottle.

“Sherri.”

She looked up, accepted the drink, mumbling a weak thank you, and held the bottle up without moving. Scrambled thoughts entered Kavin’s head as he lowered himself to the seat across from her and waited.

“I think my mother’s dead.”

Of all the things he expected, not that.
