A light touch on my arm wrenched me from my thoughts. Before I even looked to see who it was, I had the offending wrist in my grip. Audrey’s eyes were wide and her lips parted. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.” Feeling like an absolute jackass, I let go. “Sorry.” She rubbed her wrist with her other hand. “It’s okay.” “I didn’t hurt you, did I?” “Oh no.” She held up her arm as if to prove it. “I just didn’t expect that. I startled you, you startled me. I guess we’re even. Except we’re not. What I mean is, I want to thank you for getting rid of Colin.”
