Chapter 14

"I THINK WE should tell Mrs. Abernathy." Elaine held out her wineglass.

Jeff picked up the wine bottle, then refilled her crystal goblet, trying to weigh the merits of her suggestion.

"Thanks." She sipped the wine and leaned back in her chair, the firelight catching the copper highlights in her hair. The overstuffed armchair was almost big enough for both of them. If the situation had been any different he would have—he pushed the thought aside and focused on her words.

"Jeff, she has a right to know. After all, this is her home. Besides, as I've said before, she might know something. I mean maybe this doorway or whatever has opened before. We'll never know if we don't ask. And we can't ask unless we tell her what we think has happened to Katherine."

Jeff added some wine to his own glass and settled back on the sofa. They'd been over this and over this. Tell the Abernathys. Don't tell the Abemathys. They had spent the better part of the afternoon and evening arguing about how to explain Katherine's absence. He suddenly felt incredibly tired. Maybe Elaine was right. Maybe Mrs. Abernathy could help.

He sipped slowly, staring into the fire. "All right, I agree."

"Finally." Elaine heaved a sigh of relief. "Shall we do it now?"

"Now, as in right now?"

"No time like the present."

Jeff frowned into his glass, then brightened suddenly. "We don't know where Mrs. Abernathy is."

Elaine rolled her eyes. "Hardly an insurmountable problem, Jeff. We'll just go down to the lobby. If she isn't there, I'm sure someone will know where she is."

"She might have gone to bed already."

"This is a working hotel, so I doubt she gets many early nights. Besides, its not that late."

Accepting defeat, Jeff swallowed a mouthful of wine and set the glass on the table. "Okay, let's get it over with."

Elaine smiled as he reached out to pull her up. "You won't regret it."

He casually draped an arm over her shoulder. "I already do."
