Miles drove straight from the airport to the B&B where Pam was staying, hoping to find her there and persuade her to join him for a late dinner or maybe drinks, if she’d already eaten. She wasn’t in her room and he’d forgotten about the annual festival until the owner of the B&B reminded him that most, if not all of the town, was probably there. That explained why Moira hadn’t answered her phone, he thought. She would be there, too.

He entertained the idea of tracking Pam down at Truman Field, but decided against it, since he wasn’t really in the mood for socializing on that grand of a scale. He preferred to have Pam all to himself, without all the distractions other people would provide. He thought he knew the best way to approach her with the questions he wanted answers to and he was anxious to get to it. He declined the offer to wait for Pam in the main parlor and returned to his car.

He was checking the messages on his cell phone when Pam’s car skidded to a stop not far from where he was parked. Had she glanced around she would’ve seen him, but she didn’t. She hopped out of her car before it came to a complete stop and disappeared inside the B&B as if she thought she was being chased. His eyebrows shot up curiously. He reached for the door handle and froze as a second car pulled into the lot and parked. He watched Chad go inside after Pam.

Miles glanced at his watch and noted the time. 8:47 P.M. It occurred to him that he should go and check in at his hotel, perhaps grab himself some dinner, since hadn’t eaten anything in hours. He could catch up with Pam sometime tomorrow, when she was more relaxed and approachable. Something had obviously upset her, if the way she’d driven into the parking lot and run inside the building was any indication. Now probably wasn’t the best time to go tapping on her door suggesting dinner.

“To hell with that,” Miles told himself. Even more pressing than the need to check into his hotel was the question running around in his mind: How long would Chad stay in Pam’s room? There was only one way to find out the answer and that was to wait and see. Miles loosened his tie and slid down in his seat to do just that.

Inside the B&B, Chad knocked lightly on Pam’s door and stood back to wait. “Who’s there?” She stood on the other side of the door, close so her mouth was almost pressed to the wood and she didn’t have to raise her voice.

“It’s me,” Chad murmured.

Pam turned the lock and pulled the door open a little at a time. She peered out at Chad through an inch wide crack. “Where is Nikki?”

“Spending the night with Kelly so she can stay at the festival longer than she knows she’s supposed to.” He used two fingers to nudge the door open wider.
