What were you talking about? Collin asked.

The question caught her off guard, her pulse kicking up again.

Nothing important, she responded, sliding a chair out and sitting down. Settling in, she looked at him. Did you see something, Collin? What made you suddenly ask?

Since she had talked to Lowell with her back to him, Collin hadn t picked up on anything unusual. His interest was nothing more than mild curiosity he had just never spotted the two of them alone before.

With her answer, his focus eased. Just wondering.

Collin s eyes shifted toward Lowell in a quick, calculated glance.

If anyone knew her whereabouts, it would be Lowell.

With Kylee there, he decided it was better to ask later. Before long, they stepped out of the restaurant.

Kylee s driver was already waiting, and Collin moved forward to open the car door for her.

Collin gave a short nod.
