Absolution (The Protectors, Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Mace had already been waiting in his van when I’d left the gallery a few minutes before nine, but when I’d climbed into the passenger seat, I’d known instantly that we were back to where we’d been when we first met because Mace had only grunted a greeting and I’d seen a flash of something dark go through his gaze. It wasn’t the same outright hatred I still wasn’t a hundred percent sure I’d seen on that first day when he’d come to interview for the job, but it was still unnerving. Especially after what had almost happened in my apartment yesterday. Since Cole’s appearance in my gallery two days ago, I’d been on a roller coaster of emotions. It wasn’t that I hadn’t thought of Carrie in the years since she’d died, because I had…all the time. But the loss was something I’d had to experience by myself since Casey hadn’t known Carrie personally. And although I’d given some thought to Carrie’s family over the years, I’d automatically assumed that her relationship with them was similar to the one I’d had with my parents or, at worst, it was similar to the abusive one Casey had had with her mother and stepfather.
