СКАЧАТЬ a broad, rock-hard human chest. Beatrice wondered if she’d suffered a concussion. Not another trip to the ER! And what would that cost? “What?”

      “I called,” Rand said. “You didn’t pick up.”

      “I didn’t know it was you.”

      “I gave you my card.”

      “When?”

      “Last night. Er, this morning. In the hospital.”

      “Sorry. I was drugged. I mean, medicated.”

      “I see that. We’re here about the investigation.”

      Beatrice’s skin iced over as if the contents of her boot had thrown over her whole body.

      She tried to remember that he was responsible for saving her, and Eli and Chris. He was handsome. And strong and heroic.

      But Rand stood like a colossus in front of her, and at this moment he represented every fear that had festered in her head from the instant she’d smelled smoke. Her earlier resolve to go toe-to-toe with him faltered.

      Ultimately, she was responsible for Eli and Chris being in that fire last night. Their safety was her obligation. She’d put them in harm’s way. Would Rand report to his superiors that the camp was unsafe? That she, personally, was at fault for the kids being out by themselves?

      If Rand found one fault and declared her camp unsafe, the sheriff could shut her down, send the kids away and force her to make improvements. Not until a city inspector deemed the camp safe again, could she open. If Rand or his superiors declared her negligent, her state license could be revoked. She would lose more money than she could ever recoup.

      And Beatrice’s dreams would be lost, too.

      The fact that everyone was safe and alive didn’t matter, she realized. Rand was here to find fault. From the dour look on his face, she guessed that he believed she should be toe-tagged with the blame card.
