      “What aren’t you saying, Bailey?”

      Ed stepped closer so he could see the truth in her eyes.

      Something flashed there again. Fear? Defiance?

      “We’re not in this together, you know,” she finally muttered. “I was doing just fine here before you showed up.”

      He stepped closer. “Were you?”

      “I’ve always done things on my own. I just decided to take matters into my own hands and see if the intruder was still here.”

      He didn’t buy her story for a second. “And was he?”

      She swallowed so hard that her throat muscles visibly tightened. “You didn’t see him. Did you?”

      He shifted, his hands going to his hips. “You need to tell me what kind of game you’re playing. Otherwise, we might both end up dead.”

      Wrinkles appeared at the corner of her eyes. “Look, I’m sorry. I won’t wander away again. I had a moment of bad judgment.”

      That little excuse wasn’t going to settle with him. But she wasn’t saying anything else right now.

      He’d keep an eye on her. He didn’t trust her.

      But for now, they had to work together.
