Emily sat in the lobby, clutching a shopping bag in her hand, waiting for the desk sergeant to tell Matt Foley she had arrived for their appointment.

Ian’s question about seeing her slip into Alexander’s room had caught her off guard. She couldn’t confide in him. Because Alex was his sister’s only remaining son. She’d given him her “to borrow a book” story.

Ian nodded at her answer. His outward expression accepting her alibi, but something in his eyes told her he hadn’t been fooled for a minute.

She hoped Matt appreciated what it cost her to fulfill his request. She’d risked getting caught stealing, and she’d alienated a friend.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor and she looked up. Matt motioned her back to his office.

After she was seated, he asked, “Mission accomplished?”

She handed him the shopping bag. “I believe this is what you wanted. And you owe me fifty dollars and a visit to an analyst. I’m not cut out for covert operations.”

He reached into his wallet and handed her three twenties. “Alex didn’t see you?”

She shuddered remembering her narrow escape. “Yes, when I went into his room to check the type of brush he used. Naturally, it was no ordinary brush. It took me a day of serious shopping to locate a replacement. Ian also saw me enter the bedroom.”

Tension wrinkled Matt’s brow. “What did Alex do?”

She shrugged. “Nothing. I told him I came in to borrow one of Ann’s romance novels and he bought it. Ian asked me what I was doing there. I didn’t tell him the real reason. I’ve added lying to my sin of stealing. He bought my borrowed-book tale.”

Matt opened the bag and looked inside, then he set it aside. “That was quick thinking, but I didn’t want to cause problems for you. Have you given any thought to moving out of Grayson Manor? It’s none of my business, but I’m concerned you might not be safe there.”

“How so?”

“I don’t like to take chances. You were attacked, and someone got inside the gates once. I’m sure you could stay with Sara. She’d love to have you.”

His concern touched her. She stood. “I’ll take it under consideration. Not that I haven’t thought about leaving. But it’s a hard decision…”

He walked around his desk and sat on the corner in front of her. “Just keep it in mind. That’s all I ask.”
