TWELVE

The ferry to Washington had been the longest three days of her life, and though Will had tried to convince her to get off in Ketchikan where he could get them a seaplane ride into Washington and shorten their trip, she had refused. So they slept under the solarium in the deck chairs with the rest of the ferry crowd who hadn’t brought tents or rented cabins.

She’d never met anyone like him. Somehow through all this she had to keep her distance emotionally. And given that she’d just spent almost three days with him putting aside thoughts of the danger chasing them, and instead enjoying the sites of southeast Alaska—even getting a chance to watch the whales—like it was some sort of vacation, keeping her distance emotionally was becoming harder every day. Still, she wouldn’t have had it any other way. He’d kept her company and he’d kept her alive.

So far.

But it would all come to an end soon.

She and Will expected her pursuers to be watching and awaiting their arrival in Washington.

Once the ferry docked at the terminal in Bellingham, Will rented a car for them at the Avis counter while she hung back against the wall, watching the crowd for any familiar faces. Her car was still parked at the marina from which she’d taken her boat up through the Inside Passage on her own. Had it really been more than a week ago? Will insisted she leave her car sitting and let him do the renting so they wouldn’t leave any unnecessary trails, credit card or otherwise.

When he finished at the counter he had a big dimpled grin when he found her, and then he led her out the door and to the parking lot of rental cars. They passed by every one of the midsized sedans. Practical and economical. Then stopped at a cherry-red Chevrolet Camaro SS.

“Seriously, Will?”

“This has a V8. We need something with a powerful engine. I don’t want to be stuck in a Prius if I need to lose someone. Besides, they were all out of BMWs.” He opened the door for her, his smile fading as his gaze took in the parking lot and others climbing into the more practical midsized cars. She scanned the crowd, as well, and saw no sign of the man who’d attacked her at the hospital or the one from the ferry.

So far, so good.

When he looked down at her sitting in the sports car, the grin came back again as he shut the door. He dropped into the seat on the driver’s side.

“Are you sure this isn’t just your way of living out some unrealized juvenile dream?” She hoped he caught her teasing tone.

“I live my dream every time I climb into a bush plane.” He started the ignition and paused to listen to the engine purr. “But if I can’t fly, this will do in a pinch.”

Looking out the window, watching for their pursuers, Sylvie smiled as Will steered them from the parking lot.
