Chapter 13
“How many people have I pissed off in Chicago? Are you going to tell me you don’t worry about her? She can’t defend herself. Hell, she’s already been put on the auction block once. Why can’t I worry about something like that happening again?”
“Right. So, what you’re telling me is this isgeneral paranoia because you can’t control the situation completely?”
Gideon growled in frustration. “You make me sound crazy when you say it like that.”
“Because you’re sounding crazy right now. And I know you’re not. So this brings us back to the original question, doesn’t it? Is this related to Claudia’s death somehow? Emma noticed that’s when you started distancing yourself from her, even as you insisted she move in.”
Damn it. He’d hoped Emma hadn’t been quite as aware as that. Though, in retrospect, he should have known better.
