“They’ve figured out that I’m in your apartment. They’re banging on the door.” Daisy’s voice was shaking. “I’m not answering it, but they’re getting louder, and I’m getting scared.”

Lee stiffened. He had figured that Nick and Elena would come back after what Daisy did, but not this soon. He looked at Keith.

“Okay. What about you?”

“I’ll be along as soon as I’ve got the bakery sorted. Just don’t open the door until Keith gets there.”

“Alright.” Daisy audibly swallowed. “I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t done this now.”
