I thought it best we talk in person.” I walked closer, noting his body stiffening against the counter as I came. He braced his hands on the black marble behind him. I stopped a few feet away, still holding the confectionary box in both hands. “I know your secret.” That’s when emotion finally flitted across his face, shock and a touch of fear. Rather than let him stew, I bolted ahead. “I know you’re Raven1, my biggest fan on my blog for The High Tea Book Club.”
