Courtney lay on her sister’s sofa, trying to ignore the low creaking sounds coming from across the house. They were trying to be quiet. She knew that. More than once, she’d heard Fiona shush him, but still, it was an antique wrought-iron bed, and the house was tiny.

Music. That would help. Courtney grabbed her backpack off the floor and rummaged through it. The interior of the bag suddenly lit up as the first few beats of “Hollaback Girl” sounded from her phone.

“Hello?”

“Hi.” It was Will. “Did I wake you?”

“Unfortunately, no.”

The other end was silent as he deciphered this. She tossed off the blanket and walked to the other side of the living room, away from the bedroom.

“Where are you?” she asked.

“Driving home from the station.”

So, he’d gone back into work following the baseball game. What had he done, transcribed their conversation? Entered an audiotape into evidence? Her temper started to fester.

“I called to tell you I’m sorry,” he said. “For earlier. I didn’t just invite you out to interview you—”

“Yes, you did.”

Pause. “Okay, I did. But I feel bad about it, and I want to apologize.”

She bit her lip. If there was anything that got to her about this man, it was his earnestness.

She heard a familiar noise outside and walked to the front window. “Where are you?”

“On my way home.”

“No, but where, exactly?”

A few seconds went by. “I just passed your house, actually. Fiona’s house. I wanted to check things out on my way home—”

“Come back.”
