What the fuck was he doing?

He could tell himself he was checking up on Arianna’s guard detail, and that was exactly what he’d told himself when he’d left the house. But why had he taken his Porsche and left Round Ollie, his own detail while Dre had some time off, to chase after him?

Now he’d seen that Keith and Sandy were on her, staying back at a shadow distance, doing their job, so why was he still here? Why was he on the theatre parking lot, twice as close to her as her guards, sitting behind the wheel in a black hoodie like a goddamn stalker?

The hoodie was just what he’d been wearing when he’d left the house. The hood was up because—he didn’t know why. He didn’t know when he’d put it up. Probably some shame reflex because he was being a fucking idiot.

Six weeks since their single night together. He’d almost set it aside, stopped digging at the strange sore spot she’d left in his psyche, stopped wondering if he’d kicked away something good, something real, if he’d spent the past twenty years of his life kicking away the chance for something good and real.

No. He knew he had not. He had all the good and real he ever would, and all the proof he needed that that was true.

He’d almost mastered this unpleasant twitch in his head that wouldn’t forget her, he’d almost reclaimed his equilibrium, and then that envelope had arrived. Seeing her threatened, those awful images of the threats envisioned, had awakened something inside him in a place deeper and darker and more desperate than he’d known before.

What the fuck was he doing? Making sure she was okay. Seeing her with his own eyes and knowing it was true.

She was in a relationship with Trewson; she had to be. She’d lied to him, the evidence of that had been obvious from before he’d spoken a word to her, but now he’d heard her tell Trewson she loved him, saw him carry her as he himself had that night, sweeping her off to bed.

It pissed him off, but it didn’t matter. He needed her to be safe. She’d shared a late dinner with him, and now she was caught in the net of his night world.

The stage door opened, and Donnie’s attention narrowed. A couple of dancers he vaguely recognized, women, came out. He knew Arianna’s schedule; Calvin had hacked in or jacked in or whatever he did—he’d gotten access to the theatre’s computers, so they could use her work information to build a plan to shadow her.

Arianna was signed up for an hour of private rehearsal time this evening and tomorrow afternoon, and she had an audition at one o’clock on Tuesday.

Her hour had ended twenty minutes ago.

He didn’t need to be here. Keith and Sandy were here to watch over her.

But he couldn’t leave until he saw her.

Another ten minutes passed. Where was she? Could somebody have gotten to her inside the theatre?

Once that thought struck home, he couldn’t shake it.
