WHEN DANIELLE and Walt arrived at the dining room table, the Dane sisters and the Thorpes were already seated, drinking coffee.

“I brought more coffee,” Walt said as he set the carafe on the center of the table with the pastries Danielle had just placed there. Their guests quietly watched as Walt and Danielle brought out the rest of the breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy. By their curious expressions watching Walt, Danielle suspected Clint had not been the type to help serve a meal.

“Do you always do all the cooking?” Dirk asked Danielle when she sat down at the table a moment later.

“No. I have a woman who works for me, and she does some of the cooking. But she wasn’t feeling well, so I told her to stay home this morning,” Danielle explained.

“And do you often help with the guests?” Dirk asked Walt.

Walt smiled at Dirk and said, “I try to help.”

“Interesting,” Dirk muttered under his breath as he piled scrambled eggs on his plate.

“I think it might be a good idea to clear the air—since you all intend to stay for the next week,” Walt announced.

Dirk furrowed his brows. “Excuse me?”

“I still have amnesia, and I don’t remember anything of my life prior to the accident; however, it has come to my attention that I knew all of you.” Walt paused and then looked at Mrs. Thorpe. “I will amend that; I’m only assuming you and I have met since I worked with your husband.” Walt smiled pleasantly.

“I don’t understand. If you say you have amnesia, then how—” Dirk began.

“I told him,” Danielle interrupted. All heads turned to face her.

“You? How would you know?” Dirk asked.

Danielle smiled at Dirk. “You’ve been in the real estate business for a while; don’t tell me there hasn’t been a time you were curious about one of your clients, so you Googled them to see if you could find anything?”

Dirk arched his brows and smiled at Danielle. “You Googled me?”

“Yes. And it seems you work for the same real estate office Clint worked for, so I have to assume you knew each other.”

Dirk smiled at Danielle and glanced to Walt. “Yes, we worked for the same office. But I will have to say, we were not actually friends—simply colleagues. We never ran with the same crowd. And to be honest, I don’t think we spoke with each other more than a couple of times—aside from having an occasional real estate deal together.”

“Did you know Walt would be at Marlow House when you made the reservation?” Danielle asked.

Dirk looked at Danielle for a moment before answering. Finally, he said, “I knew Clint was staying here, yes.”

“If you say you and Clint weren’t really friends, then why did you come to Marlow House?” Danielle asked.

“I didn’t say I came here because of him.” Dirk picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

Walt turned his attention to Claudia and said, “It seems Claudia and I were also acquainted in my other life.
