Sabina watched him walk off. She had known Annie would be a problem. Hadn’t she begged her to keep her nose out of Middle River business—hadn’t she pleaded with her that first morning in Phoebe’s house? She had told her what was at stake, and now it wasn’t just theory. Thanks to her sister, Sabina might well lose her job. Annie was the most stubborn, the most bullheaded, ornery, impossible person she knew!

Simmering quietly, Sabina glanced back at the office. She couldn’t work now. She was too annoyed.

And why should she work? It was five. Wasn’t that her own assistant packing it in?

“See you tomorrow,” he called over the roofs of their cars. She raised a hand in acknowledgment.

He left at five every day. She stayed later. Was it pride in her work? A sense of professional responsibility? The desire to please her bosses?

But now Aidan had threatened her job. That galled her. And he wanted her to make Annie leave town. That galled her even more. Annie had as much right to be here as Aidan did. She was nosy, but nosiness wasn’t a crime. Sabina would absolutely not tell her to leave.

She might get a little closer to her. Talk with her more. Get a feel for how she spent her days. That would be productive.

Her eyes fell to the dinner that lay on the seat of her car. Aidan was right; Annie had come about more than dinner. She had come about Phoebe, which was actually a good thing. It was actually a kind thing. Phoebe needed help. It was time to admit that. If Annie was willing to get the ball rolling, how could Sabina complain?
