The diner wasn’t crowded as they were late for breakfast and early for lunch. A familiar waitress waved to them and pointed out a table for them to sit down at. Once they were settled Samantha handed Jo a menu. Jo was too lost in thought to notice. She blinked when Samantha tapped the top of her hand with the menu.

“Oh thanks.”

“Where are you in your head?” Samantha smiled. “Out in your garden I suspect.”

“No, not the garden today.” Jo smiled and opened her menu. She did spend a lot of time with her hands in the dirt, but at the moment her mind was focused on the necklace. With a history of being a cat burglar she was quite familiar with valuable jewelry. However, she still couldn’t place exactly where she had seen that necklace before. It did however ignite an eagerness in her that made it seem very important. They placed their order then waited for the food.

“Can you believe that there is going to be a movie based on the life of the founder of Sage Gardens? I had no idea the man was so intriguing,” Samantha said trying to work out if Jo was listening.

“Hm.” Jo nodded. She tapped one foot under the table and swept her gaze around the diner. It was starting to get a little more crowded as it neared the lunch rush.

“Jo, are you listening?” Samantha frowned. “Something really has you distracted.”

“I’m sorry, Samantha, I’m just going to the restroom real quick before the food gets here.”

“Okay.” Samantha took a sip of her water.

While Jo was in the restroom Samantha looked around the diner. She loved to people-watch. To her each person had their own interesting story that was just waiting to be investigated. Her gaze settled on a man perched on a bar stool. He had his back to her. His shoulders were broad, but his chest tapered down to a very slender waist. She admired the shape of his back for a moment until the bar stool swiveled. She tried to look away before he could catch her looking at him, however it was too late.

He gazed at her from behind sunglasses. She noticed a jagged scar from the slope of the corner of his mouth to the base of his hairline. She forgot she was staring as she pondered what could cause a scar like that. He cleared his throat and she jumped in her chair. When she grabbed her glass of water she nearly knocked it over. By the time she set it right on the table the man on the bar stool was gone. He left her with an odd feeling of unease in the pit of her stomach. She looked around the restaurant for any sign of him. Jo sat back down at the table.

“Is something wrong, Samantha?”

“No. I just had this strange feeling about someone,” she said. “Just one of those odd moments.”

“I have plenty of those.” Jo nodded. As they enjoyed their meal both women were distracted.
