“The mob?”
“You have a better explanation?”
“I wish I knew, but the part about your stumbling into something sounds right.” He thought for a moment. “What kind of women?”
“Young and pretty.”
“What race?”
“Why are you asking?”
“You had a memory of an Asian woman before.”
“These were Caucasian.”
“Okay. Do you think it has anything to do with your job?”
“Good question.” She shook her head. “Maybe it would help to try word association.”
“I think we shouldn’t try to push this any further tonight. You’ve had a tiring day—coming off a mild concussion.”
“Yes, probably pushing to come up with any more answers right now is a waste of time.”
“I don’t want to leave you and Mrs. Kramer alone, with that Wilson guy out there.”
“I think we’ll be all right.”
“But you took off out the back when the doorbell rang.”
She shook her head. “Yeah. I’m jumpy, but that doesn’t mean it’s logical.”
He wrote down his cell phone number and set it on the coffee table. “Call me if anything worries you. Or if you have any memories.”
“I think the latter’s more likely when you’re around.”
He nodded, looking at her hand. It was so tempting to reach out and touch her. They’d get memories, all right. And a lot more.
She looked up at him and away, and it was obvious again that she knew what he was thinking.
“I’ll tell Mrs. Kramer I’m leaving.”
Elizabeth was still in the living room when he returned, and he had to force himself not to stop and touch her. And force himself to leave, for that matter. He’d forged a connection with this woman who didn’t even know her name, and he wanted to strengthen that connection. But nothing had changed as far as his ethics were concerned. He still had no business coming on to her.
