She smiled up at him innocently.
She glanced down at the sealed envelope in her hand.
There was probably an innocent explanation for the scene at the building.
But no, it wasn't proof at all.
Standing at the mailbox, it occurred to her that the red flag would be exactly that for Yancey.
Back at the house she showered and changed before starting lunch.
Still, if that were the case, she need not have brought up the telephone call at the table.
Pushing through some sumac that she thought bordered the clearing where the building stood, she squinted up at the sun.
At any rate, Giddon would be back soon.
Frantically, she grabbed at the five-leaf ivy that covered the ground.
Fear clutched at her heart with cold fingers.
He broke through the brush and stared down at her, his expression a mixture of concern and confusion.

He glanced up at her frowning face and chuckled.
He glanced around at her and winked.
An armadillo stared at them from a rocky ledge as they passed, and a doe and her fawn darted across the trail not more than a hundred yards ahead, disappearing into the brush.
The creek flowed over a succession of rock ledges and formed pools at the edge where tadpoles swam.
She glanced up at Yancey, who was lounging against a tree watching her.
Lisa tapped Yancey's shoulder and pointed at it.
She gasped at the view.
At first she nodded agreement, and then a cold feeling clutched at her heart.
Yancey looked down at her as he helped her from the ATV.
She said nothing, but when they entered the kitchen to find Len sitting at the table, his expression was wary.
He tensed and glared at her.
Len glanced at Yancey uncertainly and then shifted his attention back to her.
He glanced nervously at Yancey, who was still glaring at Lisa.
He glanced back at Lisa.
Would you like to come take a look at it?
I saw it in the paper yesterday and thought since I had Saturday off, I'd come out and look at it for you.
She glanced at Yancey, who was watching her with a confused expression.
She didn't look at Yancey when they left.
He glanced at her and shook his head.
Lisa stared at his profile.
At least he had found the correct profession.
He glanced at her and smiled.
She sobered and stared down at her hands.
She stared at him, but he didn't look at her.
But at least you had my best interest in mind.
That didn't explain what she had seen at the building.
He has a way of looking at you...
At her nod he continued.
I'll keep that in mind the next time the sergeant barks at me.
She stared up at him.
At least he was getting out of the house.
At the car, he opened the door for her in a gentlemanly way.
She glanced around at the crystal chandeliers and velvet curtains.
He was sitting at a table across and down from them.
As they blended in with the rest of the dancers, she glanced back at the table where the man sat.
She recoiled inwardly at the malice in his eyes.
She gasped and glanced up at his face.
She stared at her glass.
She glanced up at Yancey.
The next time she glanced at the table where she had seen the driver, no one was there.
He was a tall dark figure in the night, as he stood looking down at her.
The night air was chilly on her bare arms and she shivered involuntarily, annoyed at herself because it looked like an obvious ploy.
He glanced at the bottle in her hand and lifted an eyebrow "Spin the bottle?"
Examining the envelope, she replied without looking at him.
At least it was still sealed and it was from Connie.
She dressed and arrived in the kitchen to find everyone already at the table eating.
