“Just sayin. You’re all alone in this big old house, and Zane is right next door.”

To emphasize her meaning, she jerks her thumb over her shoulder to the gate in the fence.

Heat washes over my entire body. “Did you want something?”

She smirks at me. “I came to tell you the website is going to be down for maintenance for a few days.”

Considering she saw me today, and she usually calls, it’s a flimsy excuse to come here.

I highly doubt that’s why she came, more likely to grill me for information I’ve promised not to give her.

From inside the kitchen, my phone starts to ring and I nearly cry with relief. “Oh, I should get that,” I say.

Nicki looks less than pleased when I almost run back to the house.
