Page 146 of Sin With Me

“Good, I have a lot of questions about the farm and Huntz and the day of the kidnapping.”

“Wait, you can’t mention him to them. Neither Huntz nor the kidnapping. In fact, you can’t say what youdo.”

“You want me to lie?” I showed him my crooked smile, mockinghim.

“Shouldn’t that be one of your specialties at thisjob?”

“It’s a specialty, all right. Growing up with two over-protective brothers I had to fib a bit to have some kind of a life. Why do you not want me to say who Iam?”

“They blame themselves that Huntz was never caught, and that my sister moved away because of it. They’ve been through enough. I don’t want to stir up all those painful memories.

“How are you going to explain my presence, then?”

“Easy.” He strolled toward me and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his side. “From now on, you’re my girlfriend.”
