СКАЧАТЬ in the office, Clay asked to see Gail Cosgrove, M.B.’s friend who had called this morning to tell Clay she was back at work and eager to help any way she could. As the school secretary, Gail was responsible for making any travel arrangements for school-sponsored trips, local or out-of-town.

      “M.B. and I were friends for ten years,” the trim blonde told Clay and Shelby as she motioned them into her small office.

      Clay shot Shelby a questioning look and she shook her head. She didn’t recognize Gail Cosgrove, and the woman hadn’t sparked any memories. Neither had anyone else in the outer office.

      “So you knew about the man she was seeing?” Clay asked.

      He always gave people his full attention. Shelby tried to keep hers on the secretary, but her mind was occupied with the man who was her best friend. She could smell the deep musk of his aftershave, a faint whiff of fabric softener. He’d shaved; the smooth line of his jaw was every bit as compelling as it was with stubble.

      Gail nodded. “I knew about him, but I didn’t know who he was. She wouldn’t tell me.”

      “Why not?”

      “She said it could cause trouble for both of them. I have no idea what she meant. It was the first time in our friendship she’d kept anything like that from me. M.B. wasn’t a secretive person by nature. She was outgoing and straightforward. What you saw with her is what you got. I never understood why she wouldn’t tell me. She knew I wouldn’t have said a word to anyone.”

      Clay glanced at Shelby. “Could it have been because her telling you might have threatened you in some way?”

      “In what way?”

      Shelby knew what he meant and watched the other woman’s face carefully.

      “Are you married, Ms. Cosgrove?”

      She gave a small laugh. “Oh, I see where you’re going, but M.B. wouldn’t have had an affair with my husband. And even if she’d wanted to, Wes would never have cheated on me.”

      “You sound pretty sure.”

      “I am.” Her gaze went from Clay to Shelby and back. “Aren’t there some things you know in your gut and your heart?”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
