Edgar couldn’t stay away, even though that seemed like the wisest thing to do. There were plenty of streets he could meander along with Puddles that didn’t take him anywhere near Haley’s house. Flora’s house. Whatever.

This time he’d left Puddles at home. The dog stuck out at night, being all white. Wearing dark clothes, Edgar strolled along an empty street. On either side, a few windows still showed light, mostly from the back as if folks were tucked in. An occasional upstairs window flickered from a TV.

A nice summer night had begun. Windows were open, people enjoying the breeze, settling in for a pleasant night.

Only one house was completely dark, and that was his target’s. He wanted to cuss a blue streak when he saw Roger McLeod’s truck parked out front again. Didn’t that man have a life?

Plus, he was getting in the way. If Haley stayed much longer, Edgar would need to act. The chance that she’d recognize him after all this time was slim, but he’d noticed the way she’d frozen for a few seconds when she’d passed on the other side of the street. Something had jogged her memory.

Therefore, she was a huge danger.

He, also, wasn’t a patient man.

So how to deal with the two of them? Maybe he’d let a couple more nights pass. The grapevine didn’t seem certain that she was going to remain in town. If she’d just pack and go, it would be done, and he’d much prefer that. It wasn’t that he had a bloodthirsty streak. Not at all.

Here he was, standing on a darkened street in a town he’d started calling home, with a job he loved and didn’t want to give up. He needed to make sure he could keep what he wanted and not lose it to the memories of a young girl.

Every time he thought of getting the hell out of Dodge, he felt sick and his stomach cramped. Leaving would remove the problem entirely. But it also would mean giving up every damn thing he cared about. He hated her for that. Hated her.

So Edgar stood there in the dark, trying to figure out how he could handle this threat. He wished to hell Roger would just go back to his saddlery. For crying out loud, why was he stuck to Haley like a burr? He could have had any woman in town. The county’s most eligible bachelor. Well, mostly. But, no. For some reason he wasn’t trailing after some other woman. For some reason he couldn’t seem to stay away from this one.

The thoughts that had begun to fill his head nearly terrified him. He’d gone from thinking he could scare her away somehow to thinking of ways to kill her.

A shaped charge, maybe. He’d learned a lot about blowing things up in the Alberta tar fields, and he could make a directed charge that would blow a hole in her bedroom and not destroy much else. He knew he could.

But, man, to do
