“WELL?”

The suspense was killing him.

Tessa practically glowed, she was so elated by her success with Michelle Oraia. Tessa glowing was a new one on him, Griffin thought. It would be safer and easier on his self-control if she wouldn’t do that. Her eyes sparkled and her lips were parted, as if they couldn’t wait to tell him the news.

He dragged his gaze off the lips and back to the eyes—the lesser of the two evils.

“This Michelle seems to be another of Christina’s friends. She said that Christina took off for a tryst with a guy named Trey.”

He flipped through the case files on the top level of the filing cabinet in his brain and came up blank. “Did you get a last name?”

She shook her head. “I think Ashley would have been expected to know, so I didn’t ask. So totally cool, huh? Now we have something to go on.”

“What made you decide to impersonate Ashley?”

“I just had a feeling. And it paid off.” She sat on the bench and hugged her knees, the picture of delighted satisfaction.

“A feeling.” With Tessa, that could mean anything. “Did you hear her thinking or something?”

“Of course not.” Tessa crinkled her eyebrows in what he supposed was a frown. “It’s like when the phone rings, you know? And you just know it’s your mom, like you have a flash, or a word appears in your mind.”

He was not going to touch that one. Flashes and words didn’t generally appear in his mind. Give him something solid, like a spatter pattern or a fingerprint.

“So now what?” Tessa asked.

He walked over to the computer. “How about I see if there’s a Trey anywhere at Stellar Memory?”

She came to stand behind his shoulder as he typed the name into the search function at the company’s Web site. While he waited for the page to load, her scent tickled his nostrils. Jasmine and cotton and soap. The skin on his back tingled and his body tightened as his memory returned to this morning, when he’d looked at her and her nipples had—

“Wow, look at all those hits,” she said, leaning closer.

Griffin blinked and came back to reality as the entries scrolled down the page.

Trey Ludovic, Chief Operating Officer, announced today…

Stellar Memory’s Trey Ludovic said in a statement that…

COO places tenth in Bay to Berries run…

Griffin clicked on the last one. Show me a picture, he commanded the screen. There was a good chance that a community events article would have a photograph.

“Hey,” Tessa said in surprise. “Wait a minute.” She dashed out of the room.

Griffin stared at the door and then shrugged, returning his attention to the screen as the photograph finished loading.

And there he was. “Trey Ludovic, 41, of Stellar Memory crosses finish line to take tenth place.” The guy was in damn fine shape for forty-one. Lean, muscular, his thick brown hair windblown, he grinned at the camera and even after a 10K run, looked ready to charm the Nikes right off the photographer.

“Look at this.”
