Three hours later, I arrived home full of regrets—the bus had smelled bad, kept getting delayed, and was full of rude and possibly dangerous catcallers who couldn’t seem to get over the fact that a woman alone in a tight dress didn’t want their company. I felt wilted and sweaty and gross; my feet hurt and I wanted to sleep for a week.

No rest for the wicked, though—I had to be up in four hours to get down to the store. I was headed for the shower for the next best thing after a full night’s sleep when— riiiiiiing!

Who the hell was ringing my doorbell at this hour?

If one of those catcallers had followed me home, I was going to beat him into submission with my heels.

It wasn’t them, though, but an officious man in an outfit that had ‘butler’ written all over it. “Miss Jameson?”

“Uh, yeah?”

He handed me a package.

“Thanks…? But I didn’t order anything.” About the only thing I was expecting anytime soon was an eviction notice from my landlord—funny how a few little things like launching your own business and dumping two different lying boyfriends can make paying rent slip your mind—but I was pretty sure they didn’t make them this heavy. I tried to give the package back.

The butler wrinkled his nose and waved me away. “This is a gift. Good night to you, Miss Jameson.”

“Yeah, yeah, good night to you too, Jeeves.”

He marched off stiffly, and I took the box inside. Patience was for foreplay, so I ripped the packaging off right away, and oh my God.

It was the signed first edition of The ABC Murders.

I caressed the spine, not quite daring to believe that it was real. As I did so, a note fell out from between the pages. With a chill—or was it a thrill?—I recognized Asher’s handwriting.

Dear Kate,

I swear, I’m not trying to buy you.

I only hope you’ll listen to what I’m really saying.

I’m only hoping you’ll forgive me.
