“What is?”
“Life.”
Which seemed suddenly not funny at all but just kind of sad. For her. For Bennet. Which was foolish. She’d grown up in a drug cartel. What could be sad about Bennet’s picture-perfect political family?
“Why’d you give her a fake name when you introduced me?”
“Because her private investigators will be on you in five seconds. If you’ve ever stripped, inhaled, handed out fliers for minimum-wage increases, I will know it within the hour. But a fake name will slow her down.”
“She checks out all your girlfriends?”
“All the ones I let her know about. Which is why I don’t usually let her know. Which I imagine is why she’s here at five in the morning and overly suspicious. But you don’t have to worry.”
“Because you didn’t give her my real name?”
“Because I think you can eat my mother for lunch.”
Alyssa glanced at the way the woman had gone. She didn’t think so. She might be a rough-and-tumble bounty hunter, but Mrs. Stevens had a cold fury underneath that spoke to being a lot tougher than she looked.
Still, Alyssa didn’t mind Bennet thinking she could take his mother on.
“Let’s head over to your office.”
Alyssa nodded and followed along, but Bennet’s mother haunted her for the rest of the day.
