Carla hadn’t heard a word from him and she found herself missing him more than she expected to. In the meantime, Agent Shell allowed her to return to work. However, she was never out of his sight. Rodney’s watchful eye over her was so different from Zach’s. Rodney didn’t object to going to see a movie or to Tino’s with Tonya and her. Of course Tonya made her move on him, and Carla saw the attraction in Rodney’s eyes growing when he questioned her about Tonya. However, he couldn’t act on his attraction since he was married. Tonight the three of them were having dinner together. Rodney waited by the car as usual when she got off work. He parked outside the Hearts home in plain view of traffic rolling down the street and people walking their dogs. He didn’t attempt to keep her or himself hidden. It made Carla nervous every time she stepped foot outside her client’s home. Anything that distracted Rodney for a split-second meant she’d be gone forever. When they drove past the bus shelter, she couldn’t bring herself to look. Going in that area caused her to have panic attacks. The day couldn’t come soon enough when she’d trade in her scrubs for a uniform worn by an EMT.
