The Way Home (2000)
“He’d only looked her way once since the afternoon court session began. But that one look, along with an undercurrent of tension in the courtroom, convinced her that something big was about to break.
As she studied his strong profile, she thought again about his unexpected call the night before.

Considering his impeccable integrity and “no comment” po...licy with the press, she suspected that he’d wrestled with the decision about whether to call her. The fact that he had made her feel…well, lots of things. And most of them didn’t have a thing to do with the trial.
