Оглавление“Why are you here, Lucy?” Nick asked quietly
“I need help.”
The words were offered so grudgingly that he might have smiled if she’d been anyone else.
“From me?” he blurted out in disbelief. A short bark of laughter escaped before he could stop it. “As I recall, we didn’t exactly part on good terms. Let’s see, you told me you were choosing your job over me, then you ran for the exit.”
A flush spread up her neck and over her cheeks. “What happened in the past is hardly relevant.”
“It seemed damned relevant to me at the time,” he countered.
“You’ve got to hear me out,” Lucy said urgently. “Please.” She reached into her pocket and withdrew a photograph.
It took a moment for Nick to absorb what he was seeing. The photo was of two children placed close enough together that their bodies touched and appeared to be entwined. No, not entwined.
Conjoined.
Bit by bit, the significance of Lucy’s visit began to sink in. Nick knew instinctively that she hadn’t come to him merely for advice. She wanted more than that. Much more.
