TWELVE

Early Friday morning, Demi stood at the window, sipping her coffee and pondering the fact that she had a police car sitting outside her home. Watching her.

Because she might be in danger.

Danger. She shivered.

This morning, that word brought back a sense of dread and fear she couldn’t shake for more than a couple hours.

Although, she had to admit, she’d surprised herself and slept well last night after Charles had left. She’d expected to toss and turn. Instead, she’d felt safe, protected, because of Charles and his brother Ryan’s willingness to put an officer outside.

And the fact that she now had shiny new locks on her door thanks to a friend of Charles’s who’d arrived bright and early this morning to change them.

But she couldn’t help wonder if it was a false sense of security. She also wondered if whoever was after her was watching and just waiting for the moment to make his move. Because he knew as well as she did that the time would come when she wouldn’t have someone with her or her guard would be lowered. The police officer would leave soon and she would be alone again.

And what about riding to work on the bike? Would she be safe?

Her cell phone rang and she snatched it up after seeing Charles’s number on the screen. “Good morning.”

“Good morning.” Just hearing his voice sent a different kind of shiver through her. Which worried her. Being attracted to him wasn’t a bad thing. At least she didn’t think so. However, she couldn’t get the worry out of her head that she might have someone else in her life. Someone she might not be able to remember, but someone who remembered her.

Having no memory of herself was one thing. What if she couldn’t remember someone she’d made a promise to? A husband. A boyfriend.

Was she betraying another man by having feelings for Charles?

The thought made her gulp. Just like she’d told Charles last night, she felt sure she would know that instinctively even if she couldn’t actually remember it. Wouldn’t she?

“Dad and Burke are meeting in the park at ten o’clock sharp to have some sort of debate that Burke’s come up with,” Charles said. “It was on the news late last night. Victoria brought Paige over this morning to play with the twins and said she’d just bring them to the park. Do you mind meeting me there? My secretary called and said I have two last-minute appointments but I should finish in time to meet you.”

She heard the relief in his voice. “Really? That’s wonderful.”

“Yes, it is. So, see you at ten?”

“I may be a little late, but I’ll be there.”

Ten o’clock rolled around fast. Demi soon found herself in the park along with a horde of people. Word spread fast in this little town. Reporters milled, waiting for the two candidates. She wondered if Judge Ronald Monroe would show up, as well.
