officers come in here and make it look like we’re criminals?”

      “Coltons are an easy target. I’m sorry you got dragged in for fun.”

      She slammed a dish towel against the kitchen sink and whirled on him. “Oh, that’s a load of BS and you know it.”

      “Oh, really?” Ethan heard the spark in her voice and allowed it to roll over the lingering anger he’d carried all afternoon, igniting like a match to gasoline. He hadn’t intended to say another word about his sister, yet the words spilled out before he could even think to draw them back. “How was this anything but an interrogation of Matthew Colton’s son and a fishing expedition to see if his daughter is a killer?”

      “Josie didn’t do it.”

      “Tell that to the court of public opinion.”

      Lizzie stilled. “Do you think your sister’s the one responsible for the murders?”

      “I—” His hand trembled against the handle of his mug, and Ethan left the cup on the table. “No, I don’t.”

      “So what is it? If you don’t think Josie’s involved in the murders, what has you so upset?”

      “How can you ask me that? We’re here because some faceless bastard is trying to hurt you and the baby. Hell, he was here while we were in the house!”

      Lizzie moved toward the table, standing near him but not touching. “I’m upset, too, but I don’t see how these situations are related. The officers were wrong to try and make a connection between what’s happening with the Alphabet Killer and some creepy jerk who’s trying to make my life a living hell.”

      “Don’t you see it?”

      He didn’t want to scare her—that was the furthest thing from his mind—but how was Lizzie unable to see what was so obvious?

      “See what? I realize the murders are on the top of everyone’s mind, especially with a twenty-four–seven news cycle, but what does that have to do with some creep who’s been writing me notes?”

      Ethan reached out, unable to keep his distance. But as his hand closed over hers, the flesh beneath his palm soft and warm, he regretted the words that came next.

      “Your name begins with an E, Lizzie. Elizabeth is your given name.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
