From the second Angie swept into the kitchen the next morning, Boone knew they were going to have a problem. She was dressed in jeans and an emerald T-shirt that set off the green in her eyes perfectly. Those weren’t unusual. What tipped him off to trouble was the brown suede blazer, on a warm June day.

She was carrying.

“What have you got planned?” he asked, his eyes narrowing.

“Chloe and Mom just left for work, right?” She went right to the cupboard with the supermarket china in it, Boone noted. Apparently Madeleine had not changed her habits much in the years Angie had been gone.

“That’s what they said, yes.”

“Good.” She filled her cup and left it black, carrying it over to the table and sitting next to him. “I have a plan, and I don’t want them to hear it.”

“You have a plan and a gun. To tell you the truth, I don’t think I want to hear it, either.” He’d been working on some files from his office, but he didn’t suppose he would get any more work done anytime soon. He pressed a few buttons to shut down his laptop.

“That’s fine with me.” She sipped some coffee, put down the cup, and held out her hand, palm open. “Just let me borrow your car for a while. I need to go someplace.”

He couldn’t help it. He started laughing. “It ain’t happening. I’m your bodyguard, remember? Where you go, I go.”

“You’re my bodyguard, not my husband.”

He stopped laughing. His royal-blue eyes penetrated into hers. “I’m still sorry about that.”

She blinked her eyes. Maybe she should say she was sorry about bringing it up. Maybe. If he gave her the keys.

He didn’t. She pulled her hand back and swallowed her apology. “Fine. I’ll take a cab to the nearest rent-a-wreck and get a car myself.”

“That ain’t happening, either. I’ll drive you wherever you want to go. Remember the men in the Mustang who mistook you for one of those paper doll targets? They’re still out there, as of this morning. You die, I’ll never get over it.”

“Honest?” That shouldn’t stop her momentum, but it did.

“Do I ever say anything I don’t mean?”

“No, you don’t.” Their gazes held for a long moment. He was trying, she’d give him that. She prayed one day she’d be able to look at him and not automatically worry he would shove her aside for someone else’s interests, but she didn’t hold out much hope.

Sometimes she hated being her.

“It’s best I go alone,” she said. “You aren’t going to want to drive me when you find out what I’m up to anyway.”

“Sure I will. It’s preferable to you ending up dead.”

She drew in a deep breath. “I have to go to the town Detry told Chloe he grew up in. Talk to people who knew him. See if he had a reputation for any kind of violence as a youth.”

His scowl told Angie he wasn’t liking what he was hearing. “Look, this guy had the misfortune to have his wife murdered.
