Brave. That was how Kelsey looked to Sawyer right now.

Brave.

Sawyer watched her draw in a breath, look behind her again and hurry toward him. When she finally reached his side she stopped.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

She shook her head. Then nodded. “I’m not sure. I’m alive, but...”

“But someone tried to kill you again.”

Whoever this was meant business. Those notes weren’t made to intimidate, weren’t just bluffs. The killer had told her if she didn’t leave town he’d kill her. Clearly he meant to follow through on his promise.

“No, but that doesn’t mean he’s not hiding somewhere. I still don’t know where he came from.”

Sawyer tried to keep his distance, or at least do the best he could when he was determined not to get farther than a couple of feet from her since she was in danger. But he wasn’t touching her, wasn’t even close.
