Chapter 4

Isabelle hadn't stirred from the knocking, and a quick peek into the living room suggested she’d dozed off some time ago. Jenny closed the door gently as she crossed the hall to the front door.

She expected a neighbor with a warm crock pot dish to comfort the grieving, but the man beyond the door didn't seem like the cooking type, much less the owner of a crockpot. He was tall with messy, dark hair that drifted over his forehead and almost into his eyes. His jaw was stubbled and in need of a good shave. His worn-out, navy T-shirt showed off his muscular body in great detail. It was clear that he did a lot of physical labor.

But it was his blue eyes that distracted her most. They were deep in a way that drew her in and left her unable to immediately look away. She felt a distinctive fluttering in her heart that she couldn't deny. Even in his sweaty, disheveled state, he was the most attractive man she had ever laid eyes on.

“Can I help,” Jenny began, but he cut her off abruptly.

“Are you Jenny Dale?”

“Yes. But,”

“Then you’re just the person I came here to see.”

With one hand, he forcefully pushed open the door leaving Jenny no choice but to move aside and allow him in.

“What are you…”

“I just told you, I came here to see you. We need to talk about your brother. It's important.”

Jenny shook her head. This once handsome stranger was beginning to anger her. He was behaving like a massive jerk, and if her brother was what he came to discuss, he would have to leave.

“I'm in no mood to discuss him right now, whoever you are.”

“Roy Peters. And when would be a better time, exactly?” he snapped, his face reddening. “When he's going up against the death penalty?”

“Hold on now.”

Jenny stepped up to him, never one to back down from an argument.

“You have no right to barge in here and try to force a conversation about my good-for-nothing brother. What he's done…”

“That's just it,” Roy interrupted, pointing a finger in her face. “He hasn't done anything. He’s been set up.”

“Don't be absurd!” Jenny said, pushing his finger away angrily. “Who would have any reason to set up my brother?”

“The very people he worked for. Did you ever think about that?”

Jenny was confused and wished Roy Peters would turn around and walk out the door and back to where he had come from.

“You're his sister. Surely you're wondering why he would suddenly go this far? You can't honestly believe that he would commit such a crime, can you? And his own wife, at that.”

“It's because he is always guilty. He's my brother, and I know from experience. He is always found guilty, and he always will be. If he weren’t guilty, the police wouldn't have arrested him in the first place.”

Roy laughed in a way that made her skin crawll. It was he thought she were being absurd.

“You can't honestly be that naïve.”
