“I can’t stand the thought of my daughter being afraid of me,” Caleb whispered.

“She’s not,” Noelle whispered back. “After all, she let you hold her in the pool, remember?”

He shook his head. “She wanted to swim so badly I think she would have let anyone hold her.”

Noelle sank down into the chair next to him, unable to refute his logic. “She needs a little time, that’s all.”

He lifted his gaze to hers. “Maybe I can find a safe place for the two of you to stay for a while. Then I’ll head off on my own to try and figure out who’s trying to kill me.”

For some odd reason, Noelle found she was beginning to believe Caleb was in fact innocent of the crime he’d been accused of.

But knowing that didn’t reassure her the way she thought it would.

Because whoever had tried to kill Caleb outside her house was very likely still looking for him. And she was deeply afraid that the killer wouldn’t hesitate to take the life of a woman and child, too, if necessary.
