Assessing.
Understanding.
Good.
Because I wasn’t moving.
Not until I knew exactly what was happening.
Felicity looked between us slowly.
“You know each other?”
Michael nodded once. “Blaze and I worked together a few years back.”
“Worked together,” Trigger muttered. “That sounds suspiciously federal.”
Michael gave him a dry look. “You want details?”
“Not even a little.”
Felicity looked mildly stunned.
Which made sense.
She hadn’t known Michael was sending her somewhere familiar to him.
Somewhere trusted.
And suddenly I understood exactly why she’d ended up here.
Michael trusted me to protect her.
The realization settled heavy in my chest.
Because he was right.
I would.
Without hesitation.
Michael’s attention returned to Felicityimmediately. “Tell me exactly what happened.”
She wrapped her arms tighter around herself before answering. “I pulled into the driveway and saw a package on the porch.”
“You didn’t get out?”
“No.”
“Anybody around the property?”
She shook her head. “Not that I saw.”
Michael nodded once, relieved.
“You did the right thing calling.”
Felicity laughed softly under her breath, but there wasn’t anything funny in the sound. “I’m getting pretty good at running.”
