Cody pulled off to the side of the road and stared at the phone for a full minute before making his decision. He might not know everything about Evelyn, but he knew enough. He'd devoted countless hours to thinking about her, analyzing her actions, motives, and attitudes about life. He grinned. Yeah, definitely stalker-like tendencies. He generally respected her boundaries, but not this time. Everything inside told him she needed him. What the lady needed, he'd move heaven and earth to give her.

Hitting speed dial, he waited until Daniel picked up. "Hey, Babyface, what's going on?"

"I need Evelyn's address, and before you start lecturing me, teasing me, or delivering any of your other usual crap, I'm not in the mood."

"I should check with Mel before giving out Ev's address. I don't know how she feels about her privacy, but I'm guessing it's pretty high on her list."

He understood Daniel's hesitation, but this was an emergency. "Look, don't be a pussy and check with the missus. Brother to brother, you need to trust me when I tell you I just spoke to Evelyn on the phone, and something is off. I don't want to worry Mel. Just give me the damn address already." Normally, he didn't go straight for the jugular and dispense with all niceties, but he knew calling Daniel his brother, a kinship formed in the throes of war, would get him what he needed.

"All right, man, no need to name call. I'll text you the address. If this hits the fan, though…"

"I'll take the flack and heat for both of us."

"You'll let me know if something is wrong and Mel needs to be involved?"

"You have my word."

"Hoo-ah."

"Hoo-ah." Cody cut the connection and waited for the text. Thank God for technology that let him click her address and open it in maps with one touch. Thirty seconds later, he headed in her direction. "Hold on, Ev. I'm coming."

Less than an hour later, he stood in front of a home that belonged on the cover of a magazine. Spotlights shone from perfectly trimmed hedges onto the stately brick two-story structure. He couldn't be sure, but the shutters appeared to be a dark red, matching one of the colors of the bricks. Almost as intimidating as the woman who lived behind the walls. He pressed the doorbell and waited.

A whole minute went by—nothing. He pressed again—still nothing. Damn it all. He'd come all this way. He wasn't leaving without seeing her. He made a fist and started pounding on the door. If she had a silent security system, the police were probably on their way now. Pretty sure Uncle Sam would frown on a disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace charge from the local PD. Not what he needed right now.

Finally, after an eternity or two had passed, the door flung open, and the very angry woman of the house greeted him. "What the hell…"

Recognition finally registered, thank God. The anger drained from her expression, replaced by surprise. "Cody? What? I thought you were in Wisconsin.
