BACK AT THE private landing strip, Jordan wavered in indecision. Although Kaylee had agreed to the trip, he could sense her reluctance, and the anxiety she felt over her decision to go with him was clear in her eyes. He had been looking forward to this for days now, but biting back a sigh, he almost called the whole thing off.

The past few weeks he'd spent with Kaylee had been some of the most enjoyable of his life. They had become friends and maybe a little more, and it was the little more was what worried him when he saw the uncertainty in her eyes. He didn't want to ruin this fragile new thing he could sense growing between them by forcing her to deal with issues she obviously wasn't ready to face.

Not that he had anything illicit planned. He only wanted to take her to see the opera. But looking at her now, he was having second thoughts. “Are you sure? I wouldn't want you to feel—”

A vibration interrupted, signaling an incoming call on his cell, and he sighed. “One second.”

Palming his phone, he glanced at the screen and frowned. Sammy? His thoughts immediately went to Sarge, and he answered the call. “Sam? Hi. Everything okay?”

“You aren't on the plane yet, are you?” Sam asked, and Jordan tensed, unreasonably expecting the worst.

“No, not yet. I'd barely managed to convince Kaylee to come along with me before you called and we were just about to head out. What's up?”

“Well, I hate to say it but it's less a what and more a who, but as long as you're still on the ground, I think it's safe to say you might want to delay your flight so you can take care of this one personally, man. You've got company.”

Company?

Some days Sam's penchant for being vague was irritating and today just happened to be one of those days. “Sammy, you're being about as clear as mud again. Explain, please and—keep it brief? I've got a plane to catch, remember?”

“Uh, yeah. Okay. Two words. Stacy Blaut. On your doorstep. With bags. Oh, wait, that was seven, but I'm guessing the first two would have been enough. Am I right?”

“Stacy? What would—why?”

Jordan closed his eyes. With Stacy, there didn't have to be a reason. There were so many things she did simply because she believed she could. He wouldn't put it past her having decided an extended stay in the country was just what she needed, and so she'd driven down to his place for the duration. It would never have occurred to her that he might be unavailable to put her up for it, or rather, she would pretend it hadn't, and he didn't want to cause an uproar so soon after coming to Hawthorne Grove by calling the cops to have them escort her off the property.

Resigned now to canceling the flight and annoyed because he would rather have done so for almost any other reason, he sighed into the phone. “I'll be there.
