Maybe it was sleeping in her own bed, or maybe it was the smoggy air, or maybe it was her neighbor’s smelly cooking . . . but Meg slept like the dead and woke up refreshed in a way she hadn’t felt in weeks.

Even her shower felt better than she remembered. She sucked in a breath on her peak flow meter to see how her lungs were faring. Her numbers were getting better with the medication the doctor had placed her on. Crazy how oxygen in the bloodstream made her look at the day with bright glasses.

She practically jogged down the stairs to the smell of coffee and breakfast.

“Look who’s up.”

Meg wrapped an arm around Judy and Gabi, who were huddled over the stove. “Home-cooked food? For me?”

“Don’t get used to it. Gabi insisted.”

Meg helped herself to a cup of coffee and sat at the kitchen counter. “It’s good to be home.”

“Vacations are always nice, but coming home can be even better,” Judy said.

“Yeah, well . . . that was the least restful vacation I’ve had in a while.”

Gabi offered a frown. “I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t take offense, hon. The island was beautiful, the food was amazing . . . and the company . . .” She pictured Val with a smile. “Yeah . . . anyway, it’s not any of that.”

“It’s the helicopter ride to the hospital . . . gets ya every time.” Judy always had a way to cut to the core of things.

“Worrying about Michael—” Meg cut her words off and glanced at Gabi.

“Please don’t. I’m not blind. He’s not the first celebrity to go to my brother’s island posing as someone he’s not. Trust me.”

Judy nudged Gabi. “I wanna ask who, but I won’t.”

“I wouldn’t tell.” Gabi grinned with a wink.

“Oh no!” Meg thought of Val, and looked around the kitchen for her purse.

“What?”

“I forgot to call Val last night.”

“Don’t stress it,” Judy told her. “I talked to Rick.”

Meg sighed, pushed the conversation off for a later time. “I wonder if they’re any closer to finding him.”

Judy set a plate of scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon in front of Meg. “If the hoodie guy is still there, Rick will find him.”

“He didn’t do anything.”

“He scared the oxygen out of you.” Judy dished her own plate and sat beside Meg. “I’ve known you for a long time, that doesn’t happen very often, and I’ve never had to take you to the ER. So he didn’t do anything doesn’t fly with me. You were scared shitless.”

“I’d been dancing all night, running all day . . .”

“Why are you downplaying this? The guy cornered you, said some nasty things, and took off.”

Judy had a point.

“I guess I don’t want to think a little threat turns me into a melodramatic basket case who ends up in the hospital.”

Judy pointed her fork in Meg’s direction. “With the exception of that description of yourself, you can’t be accused of being melodramatic.”

The doorbell to the Tarzana house rang and Judy jumped up to answer it.
