***

Kate’s father paced the floor in front of his kitchen table. His girlfriend, Carly, watched him mindlessly walk back and forth with her frown deepening each time he passed her by. The table was set for breakfast, but the food remained untouched. Glasses of orange juice were filled to the brim and runny eggs had hardened to the surface of the glass plates.

Robert and Carly shared an apartment in East Stroudsburg and had filled it with modern and trendy furnishings. She’d selected a black and white theme for their place with black leather living room furniture and a square wooden table painted a glossy white. Sleek black chairs with foam cushions were set around the dining table.

He continued to wear down their white carpet with the consistent pacing. Finally, she reached her hand out and laced her fingers over his arm. “Robert, you need to hire a lawyer,” she said emphatically.

“This can’t be happening. How can anyone suspect me of trying to murder my own daughter for Christsakes?”

“I believe you would never hurt Kate, but the fact of the matter is certain things will appear suspicious to the police.”

“It’s fucking bullshit. These idiots at the police department don’t know their asses from their elbows. I’m not an idiot. I’m sure Kate’s boyfriend has something to do with this. He’s known for a while how I feel about him taking advantage of my daughter and wants me out of the way.” He stopped in front of her and sputtered in rage. His blue eyes sharpened as he seemed to inwardly confirm his suspicions.

“I’m sure Jared would never sink so low…”

He waved her off and shot her an annoyed look. “You don’t know him the way I do. He sees my young and beautiful daughter as someone he can easily manipulate. Kate has been in constant danger since he appeared in her life, and now he’s trying to shift the blame onto me. If anyone should be a suspect in her attack, it should be him.”

“Robert, stop worrying about Jared for a second and concentrate on how you’re going to protect yourself,” she insisted.

“What do they have on me? They can’t arrest me based on someone placing a flower order near my work or the fact they couldn’t get a hold of me after Kate was attacked.”

Carly was staring at him with disbelief clear on her face. Her green eyes bored a hole into him, but he appeared unmoved by her shock. “What about the trust fund?”

His look was unimpressed. “The cops aren’t aware of it and I don’t see any reason to bring it up.”

“But they’ll find out and it’ll look so much worse for you…”

Robert sank into one of the kitchen chairs and took a bite of the eggs. Skewering his face in disgust, he dropped the fork to the plate noisily. After taking a long sip of orange juice, he replied calmly, “It still doesn’t prove anything. The only thing that’ll happen if I tell them about the trust fund is Kate will be hurt and Jared will have more ammunition against me.
