“It wasn’t your fault.”

Jamie glanced up as Cole entered the bedroom, but only spared him a brief look before dropping her gaze to the papers strewn across the bedspread.

Cole stifled a sigh. She’d had her head buried in those files since one of the FBI agents dropped them off earlier. They were copies of the documents Sarah had provided, and Jamie was determined to find something in those files. Anything that might lead her to Lucy.

“Did you hear me?” Cole said.

She didn’t respond.

Releasing the sigh, he sat down at the edge of the bed, reached over and stilled her hand before she could pick up the next sheet of paper.

“It’s not your fault,” he repeated in a firm voice.

She met his eyes, her expression tortured. “I forgot to set the alarm. I turned my back on Lucy. I let someone knock me out with a crowbar. I lay on the floor unconscious while a baby was stolen.” A ragged breath escaped her mouth. “How is this not my fault, Cole?”

“Not everything is in our control, Jamie,” he said quietly. “Crappy things happen sometimes, and we can’t stop them, no matter how hard we try.”

His heart ached when he noticed the tears pooling in the corners of her eyes. “Come here,” he murmured, wrapping his arm around her.

She rested her head on his shoulder, trembling slightly. “I just want to find Lucy and bring her back to Sarah.”

“You will. We will,” he corrected. Tucking a strand of auburn hair behind her ears, he leaned in and brushed his lips over hers, then shifted and grabbed the nearest sheet of paper. “Come on, let’s go through these together and see if anything jumps out at us.”

Jamie smiled through her tears. “You’re really going to help?”

“Of course. I want to get Lucy back as much as you do.”

He glanced down at the paper, noticing he’d picked up the baby’s medical report, which listed Lucy’s eye and hair color, blood type, distinguishing birthmarks… Cole’s eyes narrowed as something caught his attention.

“Huh,” he muttered.

Jamie shot him a sharp look. “Huh what?”

“Did you look at this one?”

He held up the medical report and she furrowed her brow. “Yeah. It’s just Lucy’s basic information. Why? Do you see something I don’t?”

He traced his index finger over one item in particular, watching Jamie’s expression as she read the line he’d pointed out. “I don’t get it,” she said.

Cole didn’t answer. His uneasiness grew, slowly coating his stomach until he started to feel sick. He reached up to rub his temples, forcing himself to think logically. This had to be a coincidence.

“Cole, you’re scaring me.” Her voice became urgent. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”

Letting out an unsteady breath, he met his fiancée’s worried lavender eyes, opened his mouth, and revealed the frightening suspicion wreaking havoc on his brain.

When he finished, the worry on her face dissolved into apprehension, then sheer resignation.
