Razor heard sounds of Ava moving about his bedroom, wishing he could wind back the clock and unsay everything he’d said to her this morning.

Clearly, she hadn’t taken his statement about her being the love of his life seriously, but then what twenty-something woman would have when it was said by a thirty-something man?

If someone had asked him his thoughts on age a week ago, he would’ve said it didn’t matter. His philosophy had always been, “you’re only as old as you feel.”

There weren’t many days he felt much different than he had at twenty-five, although he did recognize he was more mature.

In the last hour, he felt like he’d aged ten years, at least.

How foolish had he been to think someone like Ava—young, beautiful, smart, and funny, just starting out in life—would be as interested in him as he was in her?

She’d actually gone so far as to ask him to stop embarrassing himself. Don’t do this, Tabon, were her exact words.

He felt like such an idiot that he came downstairs to hide out in his office, telling her he had calls to make. So far, he hadn’t made a single one. He needed to get his head back in this mission, because that’s what it was. At the end of the day, his assignment wasn’t solely to protect Avarie McNamara, it was to bring down the man who’d lied about his identity her whole life.

Shit. Was that what Ava meant when she’d said that he reminded her of her father? Jesus. The man was married to a woman younger than she was. She must have been trying to tell him not to make a fool of himself over her, like her father did with his constant stream of younger women.

“Hey,” said Gunner, answering Razor’s call.

“Where are you?”

“Two doors down on the right.”

“Do you think you and Monk really need to stick around?”

“Nope. I’m sending him to Seattle.”

“Bring me up to speed on the Petrov investigation.”

Fifteen minutes later, Razor was itching to get out of Yachats and back out into the field. He’d never been the lead on asset protection, because everyone knew what he’d refused to acknowledge. If he hadn’t been interested in sleeping with Ava, he never would’ve accepted the assignment in the first place.
