Justine Davis - Her Best Friend's Husband

“I see what you mean. He’s always like that?”

“I don’t know for sure. This is the first time I’ve dealt with him at any length on the phone.”

“Surely he’s not like that in person?”

“No, he’s mostly silent,” Gabe said, still grinning. “At least, he has been the few times I’ve met him. He’s got quite the reputation for being a man of no words. So when he does talk, you’d best listen.”

“He seemed…efficient in the extreme.”

“That’s the other part of the reputation,” Gabe said. “Josh says if you ever hear him talking normally, look out. That’s when he’s the most dangerous.”

“Dangerous? Odd word for a business executive, isn’t it?”

“Not when you meet him.”

She seemed to ponder this for a moment. But when she spoke again, it was about their destination.

“We start with Anson Woodruff?” she asked.

“Seems the most logical. Let’s hope he has a good memory.”

Cara smiled. “In my admittedly limited small-town experience, it seems town gossips usually do.”

He laughed, and even as he did he marveled a little that he could, given the mission they were on.

And it was a mission, he couldn’t deny that. That he was on it with the most unlikely of people didn’t change that.

No matter how much Cara Thorpe had changed.
