Zoe followed the Maserati out to the ranch. She didn’t want to be stranded when the call came to say she could conduct the interview with Stevens, and she couldn’t see Cord letting her use the Maserati, although the idea had merit.
She pulled her car up outside Cord’s house, swinging it off to one side of the driveway as he turned toward the multibay garage to the side of the property. He met her at the steps to the front door.
“You could have parked in the garage,” he suggested.
“I prefer to be parked for a quick getaway,” she said, only half joking.
He snorted, and she could see he wasn’t entirely pleased with her response. Well, so what, she thought. This evening had gone from a very promising beginning to crash and, quite literally, burn in a very short space of time. And, she noticed as they entered the house, she had managed to get soot on her new dress into the bargain. There’d better be a decent dry cleaner in town.
She fought back a yawn. With last night’s lack of sleep and the drama this evening, she felt exhausted.
“You want your own room this time?” Cord asked as they went up the stairs.
“Sure,” she said, annoyed that he’d offered.
Something had crawled under his skin tonight, but she was too tired and irritated to try to figure it out. He showed her into a large room that, come morning, would be bathed in sunshine. The white bed linens reminded her of her somewhat-grimy state. Despite the fact the fire hadn’t reached her unit, the soot and smoke had managed to permeate everything she’d touched or brushed against.
“Thanks,” she said abruptly as Cord showed her the door to the connecting bathroom. “I can manage from here.”
He stopped directly in front of her. “Are you sure about that? You look done in, and—” he paused to sniff “—your stuff smells of smoke.”
She groaned in frustration. “I’d better put my stuff through the wash before bed.”
“Don’t worry about it. Leave it with me. Go.” He tugged the bag from her hands and pushed her gently in the direction of the bathroom. “Shower. I’ll leave something for you to sleep in on the bed.”
He was gone before she could protest. All he’d left her with was her laptop case and her toiletries bag. Her gun was tucked into the side of the computer bag, and she’d seen his gaze flick past it. It was obvious he had some aversion to her carrying a weapon. Odd, when Texas was an open carry state. It wasn’t unusual to see any adult carrying a gun. But, she’d noticed, he didn’t carry one himself. She shrugged, putting the thought aside for now.
The shower was everything she longed for. She let the hot water sluice over her body and wash away the tension of the evening. What had that all been about, anyway? Something from Cord’s past, obviously. And, just as obviously, something he hadn’t wanted to discuss. Maybe she could probe a little more about that tomorrow, but for now, she needed rest.
