much attention. They’re clearing things out now so everyone should be gone by this afternoon. Will that be okay?”
    “Yes, of course,” Eve said. “Hunter and I have to go to the office this morning for a little while. We’re going to be interviewing for a receptionist. But I don’t think we have any interviews scheduled after around 1.”
    “That will work,” Chad said. “I’ll meet you at your office by 2. We can go over from there.”
    “Okay, sure,” Eve said. “Would you like some more coffee?”
    “I would, but I’ve really got to take off. I’ve got a ton of paperwork to get done and then I’m going to be interviewing possible witnesses. I’m also hoping that the ME will have some preliminary findings for me by later today.”
    “Sounds like you’ve got a heavy day cut out for you,” Hunter commented, as he and Eve walked Chad to the door.
    “Yeah, and I’ve got a feeling that this case is going to get more complicated before it’s solved. Thanks for the coffee. I’ll see you later this afternoon.”
    “We’ll be waiting,” Eve said.

CHAPTER THREE
    AS HUNTER AND Eve walked back to the kitchen, they weren’t sure what to think about everything that Chad had just told them. Hunter knew that Eve was accustomed to using her ability to help solve cases that seemed impossible to figure out. But he worried about her getting involved in these dangerous ones. He had only just found her again and was terrified of losing her. His problem was that she was used to doing things on her own and she was already pretty resentful of what she termed as his “over protectiveness.”
    He didn’t want to upset her but he couldn’t seem to stop himself. All he wanted was to keep her safe. But, according to the world that Eve Snow resided in, she was perfectly capable of looking after herself and didn’t need a knight riding in on a white steed to rescue her. Even if that knight happened to be in the form of Hunter Vale. He wanted to stop pissing her off, but he was the kind of man that couldn’t stand by when someone he loved was in danger.
    Hunter knew that Eve was capable. She was trained in all sorts of self-defense techniques and certainly had shown just how well-prepared she was when it came to various situations. But she was so damned independent. Why couldn’t she see that he was only trying to work with her so that they could both stay safe? This was something that they really did need to work on.
    Eve was busy making cinnamon toast while Hunter whipped up a couple of omelets. Cooking together had become a favorite pastime for them and they had fallen into somewhat of routine. They worked well together in the kitchen and created many delectable meals. In a very short time, people were eager to be invited to any dinner parties or barbeques that the couple was having. Their cooking had already become the talk of certain circles in town.
    This morning, though, they worked together quietly, each lost in thought about the horrible thing that had happened to Sara. As they ate, they bounced various theories off of each other as to what could possibly have caused Sara’s death and who could have been responsible.
    “I guess we’ll just have to wait to see what the ME has to say,” Eve finally acknowledged. “Chad promised to call as soon as he knows anything. But we’ve got some interviews to conduct.”
    “Yes, that we do,” Hunter replied. “We better take off because the first applicant is due in about 10 minutes.”
    “Dammit,” Eve swore. “I had no idea it was so late! I’ll meet you at the car!”
    “Okay,” Hunter said. “Which car are we taking?”
    “Let’s take mine,” Eve replied. “I just need to go grab my bag.”
    Fifteen minutes later, they were entering Eve’s PI office. She turned off the alarm as Hunter headed back to the kitchenette to get some coffee going. They had also decided to set out a simple assortment of pastries for their applicants.
    No sooner had they
