It was over—for now. And this police interrogation wasn’t as bad as it could have been, Elissa thought as she rose and thanked the people in the room. She couldn’t pet the dogs since they were on duty here at the station, but she certainly appreciated their presence. They, at least, hadn’t acted as if she was somehow on trial.

And the cops? She’d gotten the impression they were looking for a reason to investigate her rather than try to find whoever was creating such havoc in her life.

Or maybe that’s what they always did—make assumptions against people involved in difficult situations to try to learn enough to eliminate them from their suspect lists.

Had it helped to have Doug present? He, at least, had acted before as if he was willing to help find out who was behind all this.

“You okay?” she was asked the moment they were in the hallway outside Assistant Police Chief Province’s office. Kara remained inside with Detective Vanderhoff.

But it wasn’t Doug who asked. It was Maisie. She stood right outside the door, Griffin at her side.

“More or less,” Elissa said as Doug joined them with Hooper.

“Hey,” he said, “if you’ve got a few minutes, let’s grab some coffee before I take you back to the ranch. I’d like to dissect a little of what Vince asked—and also figure out what comes next. Okay? Maisie, you can come, too.”

“Thanks, but I’ve got another assignment I need to start working on. You can fill me in later.” She looked at Doug and the two of them shared a glance that Elissa could only interpret as amusement on Maisie’s part and maybe irony on Doug’s.

“I’m fine with getting some coffee,” Elissa said, “as long as I get back to the ranch soon to check on Peace—though I’m sure she’s fine with Amber and Evan looking in on her. Maybe we can figure out how I should handle my classes and hospital visits now that I know I’m being spied on by whoever’s doing this.”

“We’ll definitely talk about it,” Doug said. “Let’s go.”
