It had been hours since she and Tiah had parted ways with Trace.“You’re so going to wear yourself out, Regina.” Tiah stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips. “Heck, you’re wearing me out just watching you.”“Why hasn’t he shown up, yet? I want to know what he found out about Kelly.”“You wearing out the carpet isn’t going to get him to come any sooner.”Tiah was right.Regina moved to the sofa and plopped onto the cushions. She needed to get her mind off this and on something more constructive.Isis jumped into her lap and looked up at her with eyes that melted her heart. She rubbed at the kitten’s head, feeling the tension leave her body. Since she’d had him, he’d always made her feel better. Perhaps that’s why he came to her door. Maybe he’d known she needed him.She brought the fuzzy ball to her face and nuzzled him. She loved his sweet smell—almost as much as Trace’s. Too bad Trace had never made her feel at ease. Just the opposite. He had her on edge every time he came within twenty feet of her.
