"Clare, I’m here to help you. There’s a procedure, a necessary one. I’ll make it as easy on you as I can."

"I know. Sorry." But she didn’t look at him. "I’ll cooperate. Just tell me what you want me to do."

I want you to lean on me again, he thought. "I want you to take the test. Try to relax. Try to trust me." She didn’t respond, but she did look at him. "And I need you to give me a statement.”

"Oh." She turned away again. "As a friend or as the sheriff?"

"I can be both." He took her face in his hands and turned it back to his. "Don’t pull back on me, Slim. I’m getting used to you."

She pressed her lips together, afraid she would blubber and make things worse than they already were. "Are you going to leave after you get the statement?"

He studied her, brushing his thumbs gently over her cheekbones. "I figure you’ve had a rough night so you’re entitled to one stupid question. But that’s the last one."

As the relief worked its way through her, she nearly managed to smile. "I probably wouldn’t think of any more if you’d just hold my hand for a while."

He cupped it in his. "How’s that?"

"Better." She leaned her head against his shoulder and shut her eyes. "Lots better."
