Haunting Rachel (1998)
Haunting Rachel
“A big mistake.
She stared at the door for a full minute, gathering her nerve, drew a deep breath, and knocked. Mistake or not, she refused to spend yet another evening pacing in her apartment and asking herself whether she should force the issue or wait.
She really hated waiting.
Nicholas opened the door, holding a glass in one hand, and for a moment just looked at her.
“I need to talk to you, Nick.”
He nodded slowly and opened the door wider, gesturing for her to come in. “I’ve been expecting ...you,” he said.
That surprised Mercy somewhat, especially given the tense scene at the bank only a few hours before. She came into his apartment, eyeing him uncertainly as he closed the door. He looked, she thought, as if he had had a very, very bad day. Coat and tie discarded, white shirt untucked and half unbuttoned, the sleeves rolled up loosely. His hair looked as if he’d run his fingers through it more than once, and there was something almost … numbed about his face.
