Chapter 11

Gillian O’Day’s background check offered up nothing of interest. She had some student debt and a reasonable amount of credit card debt for someone her age. She had lived in the same apartment for three years and dated the same guy for two years. They were engaged with a wedding date set for next spring. She was planning to wear a North and More Designs original bridal gown.

Seth wondered when Megan was going to find time to make that happen.

Megan’s brother-in-law, Evan Chevalier, had a more colorful report. He apparently liked fast cars and had several tickets to prove it. Also had one disorderly conduct charge for an incident in a bar. His passport had gotten twelve new stamps in just the last two years and based on his credit card changes, there’d been skiing in Switzerland, big-game hunting in Zimbabwe and sunning in Belize.

And then it had ended about six months earlier. Probably about the time that he’d found out about Abigail’s pregnancy.

There was absolutely no reason to think he might want to harm Megan.

Seth sent his thanks back to Wingman Security and asked them to add Weston Marberry to the list.

At four, Megan walked past. “Time for us to get on the road to Albuquerque.”

Where they would do this all over again. “Ready when you are,” he said. “Happy with the day?”

“Very. How about you? Must have been kind of boring for you.”

“Again, you don’t hope for something bad to happen. And I was a little concerned when those two women both went for the same dress.”

She smiled. “That was fun, wasn’t it? Especially since it was one of my designs. Very good for my ego.”

“You handled it like a pro. Got the dress in the hands of the person who looked good in it and convinced the other woman that ponchos were going to be the accessory of the year.”

“You were listening.”

“That’s how I know useless swimming information.”

“Are you saying that my fashion advice is useless?”

She was pretending to be outraged.

“Don’t put words in my mouth,” he said. “My mom’s birthday is coming up. I’m going to put all this knowledge to use.”

“I’ll help you get her the perfect thing,” Megan said. “I’m going to let Jasmine know that we’re leaving.”

“Is she coming for the opening, too?”

“Yes. She’ll open here again tomorrow and then fly to Albuquerque tomorrow afternoon for the staff meeting and then spend two full days in Albuquerque.”

“So, you don’t hold your staff to the no fly rule?”

“Of course not. She’s an adult. She can make her own decisions.”

He could barely bite back a groan. It was a five-and-a-half-hour drive. Across desert.

Torture.

In his plane, he could easily fly it in about two hours.

“Lucky her,” he whispered as Megan walked away.
