Beneath the Bleeding
“Would her presence leave a stain? Would he turn to her, like one of the three bears, saying, ‘Who’s been sitting in my chair?’ She might be blonde, but Carol was no Goldilocks. She swallowed the last mouthful of wine in her glass and reached for the bottle, conveniently placed within reach on the floor. There was something comforting about being here. Even though she’d just arrested a suspect who ran counter to Tony’s convictions about Robbie Bishop’s murder, Carol felt confident in her profess...ional judgement.
It was her private emotions that gave her more trouble.

She needed him too much and her anxiety over doing or saying something that would drive a wedge between them became her overriding consideration.MoreLess
