Chapter 21

Sophie woke to the smell of bacon and coffee. She opened her eyes and stared at a room she didn’t recognize. “Hello?” A red plaid quilt covered her. Soft white curtains at the windows kept most of the morning light at bay. A cozy-looking easy chair by the door, a dark wooden dresser and matching bed table. No patchwork anywhere. No pictures either. No identifying faces, no photographs, just a well-decorated guest room. Where the hell was she?

She threw off the quilt, swung her feet over the edge of the bed, and stared down at herself. Somewhere between last night and this morning, her clothes had disappeared, and instead of her own pajamas she wore a long, flimsy nightgown and fuzzy white socks. A bandage was wrapped tight around her injured ankle, and though it had started to throb when she sat up, it didn’t hurt nearly as much as she’d thought it would last night.

She rolled her head, neck popping with the motion. What had she gotten herself into down on the beach? She looked around for a phone, a landline, even a peace pipe to send smoke signals with at this point. She needed to talk to Lon. Pronto. She was pretty sure Lucas had filled him in, but she knew Lon a lot better than her cameraman did, and right now she was pretty sure her producer was pacing, chewing gum, and swearing to fire her with every step he took.

Fair enough. She’d been an idiot. A big one. Goosebumps raised along her arms. In the daylight the whole thing seemed a little more ominous than it had last night. What if the mysterious person had hurt her? Had he wanted to hurt her? She shivered. Nothing bad had happened, she told herself. No reason to worry now. Still, if Finn hadn’t caught sight of her, and Lucas hadn’t driven out there, she might be waking up in a far less pleasant place than this sunny bedroom.

Never mind. She refused to think about it. Everyone in the business took chances. That was part of the profession. Lindsey Point wasn’t the first place she’d gone exploring, wasn’t even the first place she’d twisted an ankle, and it likely wouldn’t be the last. She ran her tongue along the inside of her mouth. Yuck. Tasted like dried blood and dirt. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A shower, some clean clothes, and she’d be fine. As soon as she figured out exactly where she was.

Sophie looked around the room again. Funny, but some mushy part of her had thought Lucas would be taking her to his apartment, where he’d wash her wounds and tuck her into bed beside him and have breakfast waiting when she opened her eyes.

“Sophie?” Someone knocked on the door.

But she definitely wasn’t in his apartment, and she didn’t recognize the voice calling her name. She glanced down at herself and crossed her arms over her chest. “Come on in.”
