Darkness Rising (The East Salem Trilogy)
“The person behind Dani said, “Dr. Harris?”
She spun around to see Julian Villanegre, the art historian, smiling.
“So good to see you again,” the white-haired gentleman said warmly. “I know these Starbucks places make a fine cup of coffee, but I came tonight to see what they do to a cup of tea. Would you care to join me?”
“That would be nice,” she said.
Villanegre held the door open for her. On their way in they passed Tommy sitting on a stool at the front window counter, his cell phone pressed to his ear. Dani briefly made eye contact while Villanegre found two empty seats. Dani set her phone down on the table, screen side up.
“This must be my treat. What would you like?”
“Oh, thank you,” said Dani. “A venti vanilla soy latte.”
As the Englishman stood in line, Dani again made momentary eye contact with Tommy, who nodded to tell her he could hear the conversation.
Villanegre returned a few minutes later with their drinks. She thanked him as he took a sip of his tea.
