Sleight of Hand
“His heart eased as he watched Sarah close the door behind her and turn to smile at him. He'd never seen a more beautiful sight in his life.
Not certain how things stood between them, he waited, heart in mouth, for her to speak first. The irony of the situation--him cooking supper, waiting breathlessly for his love to return from that dangerous old world out there--did nothing to bolster his confidence.
In the time that she'd been gone, he'd suffered agonies he hoped to never revisit. Agonies of... Sarah in danger, and he not being able to help her; of not deserving to help her.
She'd come this far in life with very little help from anyone. Certainly not her father. For reasons he couldn't comprehend, Sarah loved him. Him, Chance Spencer. Flavor of the month for the FBI.
He'd been so busy pushing his past between them, he'd completely ignored the gift she'd offered. She loved him, regardless of what he'd done and how much time they had left together. Chance was going to make every minute of that time count.MoreLess
