YOU SIT IN THE small cafe off the main lobby of the hotel, sipping a far-too-strong-for-your-taste coffee while you practice every speck of temper control you can summon up.

A ten-hour flight across the Atlantic, in coach because there were no last-minute seats available in first class. That miserable experience, and then you finally arrive here only to find that Lizzy has checked out of the hotel in Florence. That she isn’t even in the city. Having to track her down by your credit-card statement.

Your shirt collar suddenly feels tight around your neck. You run a finger around the rim and blow out a breath of disbelief. The Lizzy you’re married to would never do something like this. Then again, she’s never been told before that you are cheating on her. Or at least you don’t think so.

A waitress in a white uniform comes to the table every fifteen minutes or so and asks if she can get you anything else. You notice that she never quite meets your eyes, and you start to wonder if you’ve missed something.

What kind of hotel refuses to give a husband the room number of his wife? Of course they would be taking your word for it, but you do have ID, and you do have the same last name.

You drum your fingers on the tabletop, replaying the scene at the front desk when the clerk had said you would have to wait until a more reasonable hour. You had been sure she was about to say something entirely different. But then she had glanced at Sawyer. You still can’t believe he was standing right behind you.

Had something passed between the two of them, or was your imagination simply working overtime? And what could it possibly have to do with Lizzy and your wanting to see her?

You have no idea, but something doesn’t feel right. As an attorney, you long ago learned to trust your gut. To listen to it, even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

And your gut is telling you that Sawyer had signaled the clerk not to give him the information.

The question is, why?
