of a family member.”

      “Now that’s mysterious,” Julie popped back. “I guess it’ll stay that way, won’t it?”

      “I’m afraid so. There are things I can’t talk about. Marisa knows that. There were things Johnny couldn’t talk about, either.”

      “I get it,” Julie said pleasantly enough. “So, what happened to Johnny? And how about a truthful version?”

      Relax? Julie had told her to relax and now she was delving into this? Marisa wanted to get up and leave, but Julie had arranged her chair so that Marisa couldn’t. Damn!

      “I was told the same thing Marisa was. That’s all I know.”

      “Officially, anyway,” Julie said bluntly. “I guess that’s all anyone will know.”

      Then Ryker surprised Marisa by getting angry. He’d seemed so self-contained until that moment, but a definite edge crept into his voice, and his dark eyes sparked. “That’s more than some people get, Julie. Some never know anything at all.” He started to push back from the table, but Julie’s hand shot out and caught him by the arm. He looked at her grip on him, and Marisa was sure he could have shaken it away like a fly.

      “I’m sorry,” Julie said. “I’m worried about Marisa. She’s my friend, and you popped up out of nowhere at a very late date.”

      Ryker turned his gaze on Marisa. “You couldn’t have asked me this yourself? You needed someone else to speak for you?”

      “I asked you last night,” she reminded him, her heart thumping. He appeared to relax a hair, and Julie released his arm.

      “Look,” he said, “I didn’t come here to make your life harder. I came because John asked me to. I came as soon as I could get away. But if it’ll save you problems, I can leave right now. I’d feel bad about it, because I said I’d be here for you, but if you don’t want me around, then it hardly matters what I promised.”
