had no choice but to hover in order to stop this killer from getting to Cosette.
And what he hadn’t told her, due to the stress and fear she was already enduring, was that if Jeffrey was as cunning as she said, he might be baiting her. Making her feel there was safety in this gift—that it was a coworker’s random act of kindness, when in fact he was positioning Cosette exactly where he wanted her to be.
But Wilder would be there, too. By her side or in the shadows.
Cosette paused midsip. “You’re not going to make that choice for me?”
“Cosette is human, remember? Wilder is not allowed to hover. I’m keeping within the boundaries.”
An unladylike snort left her nostrils. “You’re pacifying me. You and I both know you’ll be there. In the background.”
Wilder wouldn’t get anything past Cosette. He rarely could and he kind of admired that. “But not hovering. You specifically said ‘hover,’ not lurk.”
“I already feel like I’m being watched, spied on. I’d rather not add one more to the mix. How do you feel about Cary Grant?”
“Who?”
“Fabulous.” She groaned and drained her coffee. “Leave it to you not to know one of the most iconic Hollywood actors in history.” She pushed her cup away. “You wanna be my non-date-date?”
