It looked cool and casual, but not provocative.
If she needed any reassurance about her appearance, it was immediately supplied by Yancey's reaction when she entered the family room.

It was the same man, she was sure of it.
There was no point making an issue of it.
It was so nice to be treated with such respect.
If this was love, it was certainly a dangerous love.
It was her turn to do some studying.
You never see it coming.
You just have to act like you already know it.
The chuckle was as welcome as it was unexpected.
Not until next month – and it's 26.
At least it was still sealed and it was from Connie.
It would be best to contact Connie tomorrow and tell her not to send mail.
It simply happened that they were attracted to each other.
If Len was right, it might be a lifetime of hiding.
It sounds good, but I'm supposed to meet Connie at noon.
You didn't tell us it was her birthday.
It wasn't a secret.
Why shouldn't it have happened?
Because it was unprofessional.
His somber gaze was alluring – probably because he was unaware of how attractive it was.
For a moment she wanted to retract the part about being entertainment, but when he spoke she realized it might have been exactly what she needed to say.
It's just that I got derailed and I need to get on track.
It was pure consolation.
Since you asked, I'm getting it today.
Connie is taking me by to pick it up.
He waved as he turned it around to leave.
It always came back to that.
It was hard to believe he didn't know.
I guess when you put it that way...
Alright. I'll let it go – for now.
No. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I don't remember.
I don't know why I didn't think of it.
Of course it never crossed your mind.
I'll tell Howard to get everything together and you can drop by to pick it up next week.
I didn't want to think about it.
When you start seeing Nick... that way, try to replace it with a warm family moment.
I can't believe that it's healthy to push them from your mind altogether.
Maybe it would help her remember who she was.
It was the mystery surrounding the family that kept her mind occupied – and Yancey.
It was a foolish thing to say.
Well, whatever it is, it probably won't go down too well with Howard or Len.
It's good to have someone to talk to.
It was Yancey standing outside that shop, and with him were the man from the building and Allen.
It rang several times and then switched over for her to leave a message.
Maybe she could act like she didn't notice it was him.
Hopefully, her smile wasn't as strained as it felt.
Maybe it would hurt Sarah's feelings less if she simply told the truth.
But then, it was like him not to reveal his thoughts or concerns – unless the mood hit him.
It was time to test her freedom and go for that walk.
She had tested her freedom and found it still intact – to a degree.
And so it was that she decided to go in the opposite direction.
It was likely a deer trail.
It was Yancey, clad in boots, Jeans and a light blue polo shirt.
Maybe he didn't like to walk, but he was certainly good at it – and capable of stealth.
After examining a rock for ants or other insects, she leaned against it, drawing in the clean smell of the forest.
It's a long way down.
Do you miss it?
If he was trying to prevent her from escaping, he was doing a poor job of it.
A touch of humor flashed in those blue pools, and then it was gone.
It was a soft kiss, not demanding but more inquisitive.
Now that wasn't so bad, was it?
That's why you don't wander in the woods, isn't it?
Suppressing the urge to laugh wasn't easy, but she managed it.
Come on, I think you've seen enough to convince yourself that I have a valid point when I say it's dangerous to wander in the woods.
What was it about them that drew her too them?
So, was it the money that attracted her?
Even as she thought it, she knew it wasn't true.
I think it's something about my body chemistry that they don't like.
Maybe it was because Allen was younger, or because Yancey had a child.
Was it because of an ongoing investigation?
She had done it with Allen and she had done it with her family.
From now on, I think it's best you stay around the house.
It wasn't something that could be denied.
Now it was no longer a possibility.
Either he hadn't seen her or he preferred not to mention it.
When she reached for the receiver, he released it reluctantly and then lounged against the wall where he could hear her conversation.
He was in his chair, trying to control his curiosity, but she couldn't let it rest at that.
What's it to you?
Yes, I heard you talking on it.
Why did you hide it from me?
You don't know why you hid it, or you don't know if you're afraid of me?
Well, it doesn't look like you're all that scared of me right now.
She simply wasn't looking at it – or maybe for it.
Closing it behind her, she moved into the cool moist air.
It was a perfect evening... until something slithered across her foot.
Yancey expertly caught the head of the serpent between the forks of a stick and bent over to pick it up.
She shuddered as he lifted it high and examined it.
A soft breeze carried a faint familiar odor, but it was gone before she could identify it.
It was something she had smelled at the University ... but when and where?
Could it have been Marijuana?
It might have been something she would suspect if she had ever seen him in the pool.
It was hard to believe this jovial man was the same angry man she had faced earlier that night.
It reminded her of an Arkansas weather joke she once heard.
She had given him every reason to believe she was interested in him, so it wasn't too surprising.
At first she thought it was Yancey, and then she realized it was Allen.
I can get it.
For a few minutes he sipped it in silence.
Was it something I said last night?
It wasn't something she wanted to talk about.
It wasn't about you.
More likely it stemmed from the fact that she had not gone to the house yet.
She bent over and picked it up, discovering that it had a little white powder in the bottom.
It had a sweet smell.
She tucked it in her pocket.
Today while she was in town, she'd ask Connie if she knew what it was.
Asking Len might get better answers, but it also might get Yancey in trouble.
If he was guilty, he probably deserved it, but is family didn't.
And she still found it hard to believe he was guilty.
Where does he keep it stashed?
Get it through your head.
It was several more minutes before she was able to take deep breaths – even longer before she was able to utter more than a strangled sound.
It was the passion of full arousal.
That might be true, but none of it explained his kiss.
And then it finally sank in.
From the time they broke up, she knew it could come to this if he were left to his own devices.
I knew it when he caught you alone beside the pool.
Yes, it does matter.
So he thought it was all about Howard and a love interest.
Hopefully, the why of it wouldn't come out until she could explore that building.
Now that it was over, she was falling apart.
Tell me how it happened.
It wasn't true, and Len wasn't buying it, but he said nothing.
Maybe he didn't realize how bad it was.
No, a restraining order wouldn't stop him from finding me if he wanted to, and it might just make him mad enough to do something worse.
He offered a hand and Len accepted it.
It was something she hadn't thought of in that way.
Yet Yancey had been frightened at the very thought of it.
It took little urging to bring his mouth down to hers.
It was intended as a short kiss, but it didn't work out that way.
It was worth the trip.
We can leave your car here and come after it tomorrow.
It wasn't a relationship she had planned or wanted – until now.
Now she wanted it more than life itself.
It was up to her now.
And yet, it had been her goal for over three years.
Dropping it now would be like losing another friend.
It was the last thing he would want.
Hopefully her voice didn't sound as unsteady to him as it did to her.
She opened the door and scrambled out, shutting it without another word.
Let him explain all of it to his mother.
It was a total mystery to her why Len and Howard couldn't light a fire in her the way Yancey did.
Cautiously, she crept up to the door and peered around it, jerking her head back instinctively when she spotted Yancey unlocking a door to an inner office.
The odor was strong, almost pungent, like... that was it, clay!
It was either an original or an excellent copy, signed by Andy Gordon.
Remembering the pictures on the walls in the house, she wondered if it was a forgery.
You've got a good job as a middle man, but don't let it go to your head.
It's all there, and thanks for the business.
She turned it again, and this time put her weight against the door.
It was bolted from the outside.
She held her breath while she tugged at the window, letting it out in a sigh of relief when the sash lifted quietly.
She unhooked the screen and pushed it out.
There was no way to lock the screen, so she simply pushed it shut and started for the house.
It was a risk that didn't pay off.
Difficult as it was to believe he was involved in something like this, it was even harder to believe he had no interest in her.
That's when she thought of it.
Somehow it seemed such a small thing now.
What she saw today was proof that she needed it close by.
But he locked it before he left.
She turned around and walked three steps before it hit her.
He did it again.
After several rings, it went to the message.
It occurred to her that he might push her off it.
She dug it out of her pocket and opened it.
She described where it was.
It's full of sculptures and paintings.
I don't know what he's doing, but I think it's something illegal.
It would be the perfect opportunity.
Alright. We'll do it your way... but be careful.
At the house, she turned her car around and parked so it faced the drive, ready to leave at a moment's notice.
Fine, he could have it.
It was a heart-rending thought.
She lifted the tiny hand and kissed it, tears filling her eyes again.
She used the same suit cases when she came and she had the same clothes, but it didn't look like there was enough room to put it all in.
Maybe one of those brown sacks in the laundry room would work, and she could put the pictures in with it.
If she had asked about the building when we passed it, I might have figured she had never seen it, but she pretended she didn't notice.
What was it he said that day in the mountains... a body could be lost in those hills forever?
It was hard to believe sweet little Sarah would be involved with anything so sinister.
His voice had an edge to it.
She said it wasn't a good time, and it isn't.
Once in her room, she slammed the door and locked it against him.
It must have helped, at least to some degree, because when he spoke again outside her door, his voice was controlled.
If you don't open this door I'm going to kick it open.
I thought it was for their own good.
Could she have been wrong about it all?
I think you made it clear last night.
Maybe I would have if you hadn't retracted it as soon as you said it.
It's a part of me, and if we're going to have anything together, you're going to have to accept it.
Is it the danger you like so much?
She had created this problem and now it was hers to face alone.
He was getting paid a percentage just to pick up the artwork and deliver it to my broker.
I don't like publicity and I didn't want to subject my family to it either.
I've kept my identity hidden for five years now, but I knew deep down inside that it couldn't last forever.
The way it worked out, I had a sitter, mom had help and Tammy had a companion.
I didn't want you to see the painting until it was done.
Actually, I never gave it much thought until I found the window open.
I'm not sure, but I think it's going to be fun finding out.
It was an exciting prospect.
I've got to hand it to you Len; I had it figured completely different.
Sleuthing mostly, but it didn't take me long to realize that most people give a lot away if you listen and observe profoundly.
There is one thing I still don't understand – it's out of character.
She was having a hard time of it, but she was breathing.
She knows men are attracted to her beauty, but she doesn't realize it's merely what gets them to her door.
Ironically, it was something he told me Lisa said that gave me the idea to search somewhere else.
I figured he'd be upset because I was still working on it.
He did act hesitant about it, but his encouragement sounded sincere.
It also told me he was willing to make a sacrifice for her protection.
It was Giddon who called me.
It did cross my mind that Mertz might have something to worry about, though.
I trusted you with that information and you gave it to the one person she didn't want to know.
I guess it's true.
She didn't want to believe he was doing something like that, but it was fresh on her mind that the unthinkable actually does happen.
It takes a while to adjust.
Lisa wasn't looking for it, but when she saw it, she knew what it was.
You're stretching it out.
Sure she was thin, but it wasn't a deliberate condition.
What would you know about it?
It's a good thing tomorrow is Saturday.
He followed Julia out the door and closed it securely.
Brandon was focused on one thing, and it wasn't romance.
I think it's kind of sweet, don't you?
I think it's only natural.
It was at least partially true.
It looks like a storeroom for HP.
I guess he's going to use it in his business.
If Brandon hadn't shared his plans with the other girls, it wasn't her place to go blabbing them now.
It was the heart of their friendship.
I thought it was every nurse's dream to marry a doctor.
It was Adrienne's turn to make a face.
When I'm not studying medicine, I'm practicing it at the hospital.
Do you honestly think I want to marry it?
It was dark, shiny, thick and long.
As she turned her head, the spoon distorted her nose, making it look longer and hooked.
It's a good thing we're all so darn sweet.
Kind of makes you wonder what they were up to when she was my age, doesn't it?
It wasn't like he was such a fine catch, either.
Why was she letting it bother her anyway?
Why was it suddenly so important to be attractive?
If she hadn't grown out of it in twenty-one years, she wasn't likely to.
That was the only way to make it through college.
This doesn't have anything to do with you fretting about my weight, does it?
But then, I got to thinking how nice it would be if you went along.
Financially, they think it's a sound move to have four people share the rent.
Dad thinks it's a real coo, but Mom doesn't much care for the idea.
Keep it up and I might decide to withdraw my invitation.
It was beginning to sound like fun.
She finished the last of the food on her plate and carried it to the sink.
It isn't that far.
You'll like it, just wait and see.
Come on, don't shoot it down before you give it a try.
It can't be any more dangerous than driving around in Tulsa.
It's only two blocks, and it gives me a chance to wake up.
Oh, come off it, Brandon.
If it were any other man, she might think it was sexual frustration, but Brandon didn't appear to be interested in any of them.
It was something more unsettling than friendship.
Five it is, then.
It wasn't as if she was going to chase after him.
She sucked in a breath of the cold air and let it out slowly.
At that moment it occurred to her that Michael merely enjoyed a good chase.
It was a point she would have to tactfully convey to Roxanne.
Brandon's blue Neon was already in the parking lot, and he was lounging with his back against it, arms folded across his chest.
It was the perfect opportunity to test her theory.
Oh, it's all right.
She glanced at his face, but it betrayed no emotion.
After a few minutes, he reached over to change it.
I've heard it all.
The minute he detected something more than a platonic relationship, it was going to be good-by friendship.
It was beautiful in winter, but it would be much more so when the trees gained color.
It stood picturesquely against a timbered background of pines.
