Caught her red-handed. Or should I say black-gloved? She was just closin� the door behind her. �Welcome home, Logan.� I walked in, dropped the duffel bag on the bed. �Aw, Marie, you shouldn�t have.� Not even an hour back and there�s cigars in my humidor, Jack Daniels on the table next to my easy chair, fresh tube of toothpaste in my bathroom. She lingered. I took the hint. �Wanna get me a glass, tell me what�s on your mind?� She gave me that gorgeous smile. The one that makes it hard to breathe. �Don�t go anywhere.� Down, boy. She�s Bobby�s. �You�ll find no danger here�
