We complete each other.

We will find the answers we’re searching for.

We will protect each other.

We will love each other.

Forever.

“Are you hungry?” I ask as we lie in our afterglow. “I didn’t feed you.”

“You know? Now that I’ve talked about this with you, I do think I could eat.”

“What sounds good? Room service has a full menu.”

“I don’t know. Salmon maybe?”

“Sounds great.” I get on the phone and order two salmon dinners and a couple of Diet Cokes. “Should be here in about a half hour. Now what could we do between now and then?”

She giggles. “I love you, Donny, but I’m not sure I’m up for anything more until I find out for sure whether that thumb drive is empty.”

“You can call Rory.”

“What time is it?”

“About eight thirty.”

“Great. Not too late. I think I will give her a call.”

“All right. I’ll give you some privacy. I’ll use the facilities.”

She smiles and nods, though her eyes still have a far-off, haunted look.

“It doesn’t matter, Callie. Whatever happens, we will get through this together. I will protect you.”

“I know you can protect me. I’m more worried about Rory. She was legal age when those photos were taken.”

“Callie, I promise you that I will die before I let any harm come to you or to Rory.”

I head to the bathroom then, secure in those words that I mean with every ounce of my being.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

CALLIE

My breath catches as I call Rory.

“Hey, Cal,” she says into my ear. Her voice cracks a little.

She’s freaked too.

Uh-oh.

“Hey. Don’t tell me… You listened to the thumb drive.”

“I did.”

“And it’s blank, right?”
