12.

The morning sun woke Justine slowly as it poured into the room via windows whose blinds she had forgotten to close.

Justine wasn’t about to blame herself, though. She’d taken more over the counter medicine for the effects of the jellyfish sting, along with a hot shower followed by icepacks for the swelling.

Luckily, she had found a spray can of lidocaine in the first aid kit, which also helped. Now, she woke and looked at her leg.

The area was still red, and only one wound from a stinger still stood out. Justine wasn’t about to let this slow her down, though. The jellyfish that had bitten her must have been small or young because when she had searched for home remedies for jellyfish stings on the Internet, she had seen some incredibly painful looking stings, nothing like hers.

So, she swung out of bed, took another shower, rubbed calamine lotion on the area, and got dressed.

A fresh cup of coffee, an egg white omelet and while she didn’t feel all together one hundred percent, she felt a whole lot better.

Justine put her dishes in the dishwasher, left her condo and walked up to the office.

Justine went to the windows that Archer had worked on, tested them and saw that they all operated smoothly. Plus, she hadn’t been awakened by any loud banging sounds. Justine made a mental note to check with her guests and make sure they hadn’t heard anything, either.

She was surprised to see that there was no sign that Archer had even been there working. She’d had some contractors work before in the house in Chicago and they tended to leave a mess after they left. Justine remembered complaining to a plumber. His response had been pretty clear.

“I make holes, I don’t fix ‘em,” he’d said.

That certainly wasn’t the case with Archer Thorpe. If anything, the places where he’d worked were cleaner than when he’d begun.

She went back to the office, then checked out the pool area to see how her guests were doing, but there was no one there.

However, parked near the turn off from the main road into her driveway, she saw a black sedan with tinted windows. Justine wasn’t sure why it caught her eye, but it seemed out of place.

For a moment, she felt a tinge of panic.

Could it be her ex-husband?

No, no way. There would be no way for him to find her, plus, if he did, she highly doubted he would park just outside where she lived and watch her. No, he would probably come right in and–

She did not want to think about that.

Besides, most cars in the Keys had tinted windows, and if it was anybody watching her, it would probably be the FBI.

Justine decided to ignore the car, and went into the office where she found a beautiful, brown-skinned young woman with startling green eyes waiting for her.

“Hello,” Justine said.

“Hi, are you Ms. Beaudry?” the girl said, with a lovely, lilting accent that struck Justine immediately as quite lovely.

“Yes,” she said.
