Chapter 4

Gideon slid the keys toward me, and I took them.

"I need two things," I said. "A place Blaine can't enter, and a lawyer who doesn't work for this trust or my husband."

Gideon gave me three names. I chose Helen Ward because her office was nearby and called her myself.

By the time I left, Blaine had sent six messages. The first told me dinner was getting cold. The last warned that silence wouldn't make my behavior less childish.

Pamela had left a voicemail reminding me that a wife didn't embarrass her husband by disappearing. Nadine had sent nothing.
