Ray narrowed his eyes as Grace bolted for the cashier. Following her, he plunked his shopping basket down on the conveyor belt. Grace unloaded the stuff quickly while he dug the cash out of his wallet to pay for it.

Two minutes later, they were back in the car. Just as she had for the ride from the hospital, she sat rigidly in the passenger seat, staring straight ahead. Sighing, he slotted the key in the ignition and the Toyota sputtered to life.

She was hiding something. Something the doctor had said, no doubt. He thought about asking her flat out, but the uneasy feeling that she might come unglued if he forced the issue dissuaded him.

Checking his mirrors, he backed out of the parking spot. First chance he got, he was going to look at those prescriptions to make sure she really did get something to help.

Though he couldn’t imagine what the doctor could prescribe for the after-effects of concussion. He’d had a couple of hard knocks himself over the years, and it didn’t seem to him like something drugs could help, beyond painkillers. But Grace didn’t complain of headaches anymore. All she’d mentioned was feeling tired.

Unless it wasn’t from the concussion at all.

Ray mulled that idea over as he nudged the car into traffic. Maybe the doc was treating her for anxiety.

Damn! Bet that was it. Getting shot at, having to flee, seeing their house on the six o’clock news with cops and firemen tramping through it. Not to mention all the stuff that had come before. Was it just over nine days ago? The Gawd-awful scene in the kitchen when she’d told him she was leaving, the trauma of the car accident, the frustration of the memory loss....

Now, that he could understand them medicating her for. Plenty of people turned to pharmaceutical help when things got hairy. He’d never done it himself, but he couldn’t say he blamed anyone who did. He was all for whatever helped you cope, as long as it didn’t get in the way of the job.

The job.

Braking for a stop sign, he fought off a burst of anxiety at what the guys back at the precinct must be thinking right about now.

Don’t go there, Morgan.

His only job right now was to keep the two of them safe until Grace regained her missing memories. Easy assignment, compared to Grace’s job, which was to remember.

Of course, being all twisted up with nerves probably wouldn’t help her recollection any. He’d been trying his damndest to bury his own hurt and anger to help her relax, and he thought he’d been doing a pretty good job. He could have sworn she’d unwound pretty good at the seashore today. But then she up and fainted, scaring the bejesus out of him.

Maybe this was what she needed. Maybe a little Prozac or whatever they used these days would help her unbend enough to recover those missing days.

“Ray, you missed the Harbour bridge.”

Damn. “No problem. We’ll take Reversing Falls.”

Back at the motel, he parked in front of the office, ran inside and paid cash for a second night.
