He was so preoccupied with thoughts of Victoria, and of Philip, who should be snatching Victoria’s kidnapper within the next thirty minutes. Brad prayed everything went smoothly and according to plan because if it didn’t . . . Well, he didn’t even want to consider that possibility. Not now with his face so visible to Peyton. “Brad?” Peyton reached across the table and placed her hand over his. His first instinct was to jerk his hand away, but he knew his role.

There was a rather urgent family issue this morning.”
