“I went to see Jenny over at the cinema. I changed the reservation for your concert to Friday, December fifteenth.”
“Thanks for that. That gives me a little over a month.”
“I thought you’d be happy.”
“Surely we can figure out all this other stuff in a month, right?”
He doesn’t reply.
“Brock?”
“I don’t know, sweetheart. I just don’t know. There’s so much going on. It may take a while to find the answers.”
“We have to. We have to at least find out if Pat Lamone is really your cousin.”
“Yeah, we will. Although DNA may not be entirely conclusive.”
“It’ll be able to tell you if he’s a second or third cousin, right?”
“I don’t know. He’s allegedly descended from a half sibling, which makes it more complex. A lot of it is Greek to me. I mean, sure, I studied agricultural science in college, and I can tell you all the parts of a bovine. When it comes to human anatomy and DNA? Not so much.”
“Yeah, me too. I definitely don’t have a science brain.”
“So we’ll leave it to the expert. The hair samples from the hair tie weren’t viable, and he found another hair on the panties, which also wasn’t viable. But…he did manage to find a speck of blood on one of the rose stems.”
“But that could be Ennis’s.”
“Exactly. It’s a shot in the dark. But it’s better than anything else we’ve got.”
“When do we find out?”
“He says he’ll try to have more information for me within twenty-four hours. I called Dale and Donny and my dad and gave them the info. Then I came over here to deal with Jenny and the cinema and to see the most beautiful woman in the world.”
He brushes his lips lightly over mine.
Then he gazes at me, his dark eyes flaring with fire.
Already I know what he’s thinking.
“Not here,” I say.
“Why not? There’s nobody around.”
“This is Snow Creek. There’s always someone around.”
“Is Willow down in the salon?”
“No, not today.”
“Then who else would be around? Who else could see us in this parking lot right now?”
“No way.”
He kisses me then—a hard and passionate kiss complete with clashing teeth and sliding lips and mashing tongues.
And I’m ready.
I’m always ready for him.
