Chapter 9

We arrived back at the inn, and Sgt. Lane lingered at the door. The glow of the orange lamp above the entrance tinted his face gold. Those dimples got me every time. He really was a cutie. I stood waiting, somehow knowing that he wanted to say something but was holding back.

“What?” I asked. He hadn’t said a word since I’d cried foul play regarding Arnold Bentley’s death. “Do you think I’m being hysterical?”

He laid a gentle hand on my shoulder. “We don’t know what killed Arnold Bentley yet, but you should be careful. Stay with your group. No wandering at night in the dark.”

I smiled, feeling that his interest in my safety wasn’t completely professional. Although I knew by now that people weren’t always what they seemed (Gordon the murdering sound guy for one). But I had a good feeling about Adam Lane. Maybe it was time to trust my intuition a bit more and place my trust in him, too. Although some of my secrets would have to stay secret. I mean buried right down. Deep down. I didn’t think he could handle a ghost-seeing water witch right now on top of a second murder case.

I promised Sgt. Lane that I’d keep myself safe. He seemed relieved. I made a mental note not to talk to Gateau in front of him and definitely not to react to Gerry’s antics if he was around, and then we parted ways. I felt grateful knowing that people like DI Hembly and Sgt. Lane were out there, protecting the community. That fact, and the amethyst around my neck, would hopefully help me get some sleep tonight. Because, murder or no murder, I had the final baking challenge in the morning.
