Three hours later, Deanna made her way through the Chicago airport, having found a flight with a standby seat. In her briefcase was a copy of a death certificate for Roland Smith, as well as a recorded interview with Lydia sobbing over the loss of her precious boy all those years ago. Given the guilt she felt over Roland, it wasn’t much of a stretch to get her to cry, and the interview felt and sounded as real as anything Deanna had ever done.

Now she was on her way back to DC to hand all of it over to Brice, and hopefully put him off that line of inquiry permanently.

As she reached the gate and sat down to wait the last twenty minutes before boarding, her phone chimed. She pulled it out of the front pocket of her purse and looked to find a text from Teague.

T: Are you home from work yet? Thinking about you. Want to stop by.

She smiled to herself. He’d been to her house or had her come to his nearly every night since they started seeing each other again. They didn’t go out, realizing that they might be spotted since Teague’s face was on TV and in the papers every day now, so they were stuck making dinner, getting delivery, and entertaining each other at home.

And, my God, could the man entertain. Twenty-two-year-old Teague had been sexy and fun, and a perfect match for her in bed and out. Thirty-four-year-old Teague was hot as hell—confident, assertive, big, hard. She fanned her face with her hand for a moment before returning his text.

D: I had to fly out of town for a last minute interview. I’m in the airport now. My flight should be boarding in a few.

T: Don’t leave town without telling me again. Where are you?

She rolled her eyes. And bossy. Did she mention he was bossy as well?

D: Your old stomping grounds—Chicago. Will you be telling me whenever you leave town for a few hours?

T: Yes, but that’s not the point. What if something happened to you? I want to know you’re safe.

Deanna’s eyes burned slightly as she read his words. If he only knew—she’d never in her life felt as safe as she did in his arms late at night.

D: Yes, sir. From now on you’re the first call I make if I go anywhere outside the district.

T: Good. I’d extend that…you should let me know if you go anywhere after dark or with any men either, but I won’t push my luck right now. When will you be back?

D: Flight lands at Dulles at eight twenty.

T: I’ll be there to take you home. Come to the level four pickup.

She sighed. God, if he kept this up, it was going to be a very long two hours.

D: I’ll be there…

She waited, considering it, letting fear get the better of her for a moment, but then she remembered that day twelve years ago when she’d let fear take over. No, the days of allowing fear control her were over.
