ELEVEN

No one breathed easier than Sabrina when the doctor came into the waiting room to tell her that Granny May had come through the surgery just fine but was still heavily sedated. “Go home and get some sleep. Come back tomorrow when she’s awake. Otherwise you’re going to be without sleep tonight and feel lousy tomorrow when she’ll need you.”

Clay drove her home and helped her pack a few things she might need for the next week. “I hope this doesn’t drag on that long,” she muttered with a frown.

“Getting tired of me already?” he teased.

“You? No. Being a target? Yes.” She threw the small suitcase into the back of her car. “I’ll follow you. I don’t want to be without my car.”

“But you won’t be going anywhere without me.”

She crossed her arms. “I want my car.”

Clay threw his hands up. “Fine.”

She gave a satisfied nod and climbed behind the wheel. Knowing her grandmother was safe made all the difference for Sabrina as she renewed her determination to figure out why someone wanted her dead. She glanced around her neighborhood and shivered. Was the person watching her leave? Was he wondering where she was going?

Was he going to follow? She sent up a prayer asking for protection for her and those she loved. She found herself picturing Clay’s face during that prayer and her next shiver had nothing to do with fear of an unknown attacker but was more of an apprehension about her growing feelings for a man whose family had no desire for them to be together.

She followed Clay for the fifteen-minute drive to his ranch. When they pulled up to the cottage, she could see the mountains in the distance, the hills with the caves and where they’d found evidence that Abe Starke had been up there. Was she crazy moving so close to a man who couldn’t stand the sight of her?

She climbed out of the car and waited for Clay. “Are you sure this is a good idea? Abe hates me.”

“He doesn’t hate you—he hates the reminder you represent. He’ll come around.”

Sabrina lifted a brow and didn’t comment. Voicing her doubts would gain her nothing. Time would prove who was right. She grabbed her suitcase and rolled it toward Clay’s home.

Clay’s home. Another set of butterflies took up residence in her belly.

He opened the door for her, and she stepped inside. It shouted “Boys only.” She couldn’t see a woman’s touch anywhere. It was clean, just bare. Her fingers itched to do something with it.

But that wasn’t her place. This was going to be her safe house. She hoped. “Thank you.”

“It’s small but functional. It’s a two-bedroom. Kitchen to the right, hall to the left. Bedrooms on either side. Guest bedroom is on the right.”

“Okay.”

“I won’t be far away. There’s an intercom system with all the cottages on the property. You can disable it if you want or leave it on. If you need something, all you have to do is hit the button and it beeps in the main house.
