  Ben scowled. “You talked a woman into going with you to meet another woman?”

  “Hey, it was a kind gesture.”

  “If you used your powers for good instead of evil, you’d be a superhero by now.”

  “Don’t beat up on me, man. I went there for you. She’s too old for me.”

  “How old is she?”

  “Twenty-seven.”

  “That’s only four years from where you’re sitting.”

  “I wouldn’t discriminate on that alone. In fact older women tend to know things. Maybe I will—”

  Ben shot him a warning look.

  Beckett bit back a chuckle. “Or maybe not. Plus, being a widow…that screams complex. I’m not into complex. That’s your department.”

  Beckett handed Ben a piece of torn paper.

  “What’s this?”

  “Kara’s number. I asked for it when she called with the order. Figured it was her when she called. No other Karas around here that I know of.”

  Ben stared at it.

  “You’re welcome,” Beckett told him then sauntered off toward whatever trouble he could find.

  Sliding the slim paper into his pocket, Ben finally closed the door to the warm-toned evening that still held hints of winter. It was that time in the season that fluttered between the two worlds—cold and hot, what was and what would be.

  Unable to look away just yet, he kept watch through the paned windows in the door, looking out after the woman who’d fascinated him.

  A widow… He heard the word echo through his mind. Must be a tough deal. Was that why she said she’d had a rough day? Or was there something else?

  He didn’t know the answers, but he sure as hell wanted to find out.
