      Oh. The charming cowboy suddenly took on an unexpected dimension. Losing your parent so young… And here she was whining about having too many parents. ‘That must have been tough for you to get over.’

      ‘Gram was a rock. And a country woman herself. She knew how to raise boys.’

      ‘Is she still here in Larkville?’

      The eyes found hers again. ‘I’m not from Larkville, originally.’

      ‘Really?’ He seemed so much part of the furniture here. Of the earth. ‘I thought your accent wasn’t as pronounced as everyone else’s. Where are you from?’

      ‘Gram was from the Lehigh Valley. But my dad was NYPD. He met my mother while he was training.’

      New York. Her world—and her hopes at anonymity—shrank. She moderated her breath just like in a heavy dance routine. ‘Manhattan?’

      ‘Queens, mostly. He commuted between shifts back out to the Valley. To us.’

      ‘And he’s the reason you became a cop?’

      ‘He’s part of it. He, uh, died on duty. That meant there was legacy funding for my schooling. It felt natural to go into law enforcement.’

      Died on duty. But something much more immediate pressed down on her. ‘You studied in New York?’

      His eyes hooded. ‘I lived and worked in Manhattan for fifteen years.’

      Her voice grew tiny. ‘You didn’t say. When I told you where I was from.’

      ‘A lot of people come from New York. It’s not that remarkable.’

      So she just asked him outright what she needed to know. ‘Do you know who I am?’

      That surprised him. ‘Why? Are you famous?’

      His cavalier brush while she was stressing out didn’t sit well with her. She took the chance to push her plate onto the footstool next to them. ‘Be serious.’

      He stared at her. Doing the math. Consulting his mental Who’s Who of New York. She saw the exact moment that the penny dropped. ‘You’re a Patterson Patterson?’

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
