She hadn't seen much of the sheriff since Grace's wedding. He rarely ate in the hotel dining
room. She'd seen him a couple of times passing through the lobby, and he'd tipped his hat to
her as he continued on his way. Now, once she reached the office door, she hesitated. The
window that faced the street was dark, but a dim light was coming from a window at the side
of the building. She rapped sharply on the door and after two seconds repeated the action,
doubling the force.
"I'm coming," a male voice grumbled, and light flooded the window that overlooked the
street.
Lily stepped back, and when the door opened, she rushed inside, brushing past the sheriff,
who was hooking his suspenders over his broad shoulders.
"Miss Travis?" He ran his hand through his tousled hair. "What on..." He stepped outside and
glanced around before returning and shutting the door. "Are you all right?" He looked her over.
"I'm perfectly fine." She touched her fingers to her hair. "I would like to report a possible...
situation that requires your attention, Sheriff Daniels."
The man had the audacity to smile just enough to expose those dang dimples.
"This is serious," she informed him.
He cleared his throat and indicated she should take a seat while he took his place behind the
scarred table that served as his desk. "No doubt. Why don't you tell me what's got you so
riled up?"
"I am not riled up. I am seriously concerned about a friend."
He leaned forward, his eyes studying her face. "I can see that, Miss Travis. Tell me what I can
do to help." Both his tone and demeanor had shifted to something more professional and
distant.
All of which made her aware that the three small cells at the rear of the room were unoccupied
and she was alone with this man at an hour that would surely raise both eyebrows and
questions were she to be discovered.
She stood and started for the door. "This was a mistake," she murmured.
