CHAPTER 12

The low murmuring of Zane on the phone in the other room made Missy want to listen closer.

She shouldn't. She trusted him. Mostly.

No, she did trust him. But what was with the whispering?

If he was discussing some matters of national security or something, he could trust her not to spill the beans. She was a freaking senator's daughter, after all.

And if the topic of conversation was so important then he shouldn't be discussing it in their apartment on the cell phone anyway. Mr. Paranoid should realize the apartment could be bugged or something.

Farfetched, she knew, but hell, it could happen.

In any case, she hated he was in the spare room he'd turned into an office with the door closed. Hated it with every fiber of her being.

Maybe she should bug the apartment herself.

Now she was being crazy. But if she were, it was because Zane was making her so. Along with Amelia and the pressure this wedding party responsibility was putting on her.

She still had yet to tell Zane about it. She really needed to do that and soon now that Meli had finally chosen the date, and it was only six months away.

A Christmas wedding. She wanted to roll her eyes at that and say it was a foolish time of year to have a wedding when everyone is so busy, but she couldn't because it sounded lovely.

The jiggling of the handle heralded the opening of the office door. Missy spun and pretended to be very busy folding the throw on the sofa.

“All done with your business call?” she asked, in as bright and cheerful a tone as she could muster without sounding guilty for trying to eavesdrop.

Nope. Not suspicious at all. Not her.

“Yeah, but you're not going to like what I have to say.”

“Why.” She frowned, suspecting what that comment meant.

“I’ve got to be away for a couple of days.”

Yup. Just as she’d guessed. He was going away again, like he did so often.

“With Jon?” she asked.

“No.” He hesitated and finally met her gaze.

Wow. Now that was suspicious. Maybe she really did need to start bugging his office. She waited for him to elaborate.

“I'm working on something outside of GAPS.”

Her eyes widened. “Not like what Jon did last year. Please tell me you're not going undercover in Iraq or Syria or wherever the hell he went and got himself blown up while poor Ali was home and didn't know where he was.”

“No. No worries. I'm not that stupid. Believe me. And Jon won't ever be doing that again.”

“That's good to hear.” But it still didn't explain where Zane was going and why he was going alone.

She knew damn well she might never know. Such was the nature of the world of government contracts and national security in which he worked. But she really wished he'd tell her something.

Zane took both of her hands in his. “Can we sit?”

“Um, sure.”

Uh, oh. This sounded serious. Like I think we should break up kind of serious. Maybe she didn't want him to tell her anything after all.
