“Remember what I said about bison being majestic?” I asked. “I changed my mind.”
If I could face down a one-ton bison and not pee my pants, I could move across the country and build a new life, no sweat.
He’d come to rescue us. Which meant the reason we were standing in the middle of a bison herd was because they’d lured us to them. Sadistic creatures, buffalo.
“I’m a cop. I was going to show you my badge.” “That’s what all serial killers say.” Everly’s gaze narrowed. We really needed to find her another show to binge on Netflix.

“Ms. Morgan. Lajade, right? Or should I call you Lucy Ross? As in the famous country singer Lucy Ross.” I cringed. “I can explain.” “Yeah. I think you’d better start talking.” “Sheriff Evans.” I gave him my sweetest smile. “What would you say to a bribe?”
“You’re a contradiction.” I scoffed. “There’s not much contradictory about me, Lucy.”

Bank accounts. Passwords. Another phone number. The day she died, I was meeting with Detective Markum to talk about whether I should press charges.

“That was your chance to get rid of me, Sheriff.” “Too bad I missed it.”
