Chapter 6

She brightened when they reached the arena. Her frustration disappeared when she saw the ice and the excitement of the fans. April went to all of her dad’s games, but this executive treatment was a first for Meagan.

“Hey, girl.” Caroline Northcote-Ivarsson waved her over as they entered the owner’s box. Her golden hair shone brighter than the diamond on her finger. “Dad said we’d see you here. How are you settling in at Cam’s?”

“Great. He’s easy to work with and April is such a good girl.” She leaned down and fixed April’s bangs, moving them out of her eyes. “It’s been an easy transition. How’s your sister?”

“Connie’s over there and will be happy to see you.” Caroline glanced over her shoulder at her sister, whose face was buried in her tablet. She rolled her eyes and smiled. “It’s nice to see you again April. If you’re hungry, there’s a hotdog on the table with your name on it. If that’s okay with Meagan?”

Meagan let go of her hand and nodded. “Go ahead. I bet after your nap in the car, you’re ready to eat again. Take a seat and I’ll join you in a moment.”

The little girl took off for the food and Caroline laughed. “She’s so much like her dad. He’s a big eater too. I thought Nico packed away the meals, but Smith could eat out a grocery store.”

“She picks her moments. I’m learning about his appetites,” she replied with little enthusiasm.

“Let me introduce you to some ladies here. Carly and Beth wanted to be closer to the action and are down there somewhere.” She pointed towards the empty bench. The players had yet to take to the ice. “Sylvie, Jill and some other wives are over there. It’s a great group. Oh, but if you want to survive the afternoon, don’t bring a hotdog around Sylvie. She’s in her first trimester and is having major morning sickness.”

“Thanks for the tip. Which one is Sylvie?” She peeked at the women, but couldn’t tell if anyone was with child. Caroline looped their arms together, like they’d been friends forever, when that wasn’t the case. Meagan was certain that Caroline disliked her and thought she couldn’t handle caring for her sister. “Why are you being so nice to me? I thought you didn’t like me.”

“I’m very protective of Connie. When you moved in, you didn’t have any experience with Asperger’s. I didn’t like the decision to hire you. It wasn’t personal. You’ve proven to be great with her.”

“It wasn’t personal to you, but it was to me.” Meagan kicked a fallen popcorn kernel across the floor.

“I’m sorry.” Caroline squeezed her arm and smiled. “Since those men chased the two of you, my opinion has changed. You protected her. You’re kinda badass. If you hadn’t been there.” She shuddered, and so did Meagan.

“Don’t mention it. I’m happy my father’s tactical exercises came to good use, though I hope I never have to use them again. Speaking of all that, how’s your crusade to find the missing teens coming along?”

The city had a rash of missing teenagers.
