Thump!
Thump! Thump!
No! She
gasped. It couldn’t be. The banging on the front door of the booktique had to
be a figment of her imagination. She couldn’t will Lon into existence. Why
would he come back? Especially if he was involved. Unless…cold ice prickled up
her spine…unless he needed to eliminate her to take care of loose ends.
No.
Crazy thoughts, Willa. He could’ve taken care of her the night
before. No, her heart hammered against her chest for a different reason. But it
didn’t matter. The knocking on the door wouldn’t, couldn’t be him.
Thump!
Thump! Thump!
Could it? She clutched her hot mug in both hands and
turned toward the doorway leading to the bookstore. From the kitchen in the
back room, she had a clear view through the store to the front door, but not
who stood on the other side.
“Willa!” Lon growled. “Wake up and let me in!”
Willa gasped and almost dropped her cup. The tea
sloshed around and some spilled over her
hands. It burned, but she didn’t move. She couldn’t breathe. Somehow the air got trapped inside her throat. Why was he here? What did he want?
