For the second time in less than forty-eight hours, they filled out police reports and were interviewed by officers. They were going to be late getting to Solitaire, but the SUV was still drivable, so they were being allowed to leave in it. There was no sign of who ran them off the road. He’d already sent texts to some of the members of the board that he wanted to talk to them as soon as he arrived.

Now he was back in the car with Isabelle, checking her over.

“Are you hurt? Are you sure we don’t need to take you to a hospital?”

Her lip quivered as she shook her head. “I’m fine, Sir. I just want to get to Solitaire and not leave for the weekend.”

He tucked her close to him and nodded to Jeff. “You heard the lady, let’s get there.”

“Was this tied to whatever Regina called you about?” she asked quietly.

He sighed. “I’m concerned for your safety,” he said before outlining what Regina had told him.

Isabelle snuggled close. “People write angry letters all the time.”

Garrett kissed the top of her head. “I would agree if not for everything else. We’re going to be taking some extra precautions for your safety until we catch whoever this is.”

Isabelle frowned. “What does that mean?”

“You don’t go anywhere on your own. Let me or my driver take you to and from work.”

She nodded. “That sounds easy enough. If it will make you feel better, I can do that. Just…” She trailed off and looked out the window.

“What is it, Isabelle?” he asked.

“Just maybe don’t bring such flashy cars to my apartment complex. It makes people uncomfortable.”

Garrett sighed. “This flashy vehicle kept us safe tonight, Doll. But I’ll see what I can do. Now, there’s nothing else we can do right now. What do you say I get back to enjoying your mouth and we forget about all of this for the weekend?”

Her grin was slow as she lifted her head to face him.

“I like the sound of that a lot, Sir.”

When his mouth closed over hers, she didn’t hold back and neither did he.
