TICK TOCK RUN (Romantic Mystery Suspense) - Plot & Excerpts
I looked down at the floor in the hall. Two pairs of shoes sat in the shadow of the hanging coats. “Answer me.” His voice grew harsher. “I’ve had enough of your games.” I bent down to touch the shoes. Lifting them up one by one, I rubbed my fingers along their soles. They were as dry as the dust that now coated the tip of my fingers. The coats, too. If he’d been under that bridge to collect the money wearing these, they’d have been wet from the rain, surely? This was enough evidence for me, but Laura’s accusations chanted in my mind like a brainwashing mantra. Lee stood. “Chelsea!” He paused, but I didn’t answer. “Right, that’s it. If you’re not going to talk, get the hell out of my house!” He slumped onto the sofa again. I stepped into the lounge and stood in front of him. Although annoyed, he looked equally unthreatening and as inquisitive as a child. He wore twisted-leg jeans and a black t-shirt. The kind that exposed his toned arms, and reinforced the sickening feeling that, if Laura was wrong, I’d thrown this flat-out hot guy clean away. With his arms folded, he leaned to one side and continued watching TV. I reached out and rubbed strands of his hair between my fingers. Dry. “Look me in the eyes and tell me it isn’t you.”
