Unable to deal with anyone invading her space while Danny was staying with her, she’d cancelled her housekeeper and expended her nervous energy dusting the furniture, emptying her dishwasher and trying to capture as much cat hair as possible with her broom and vacuum cleaner. He’d been gone for hours. First he’d borrowed her car, taking it into an area of the city she’d never once gone to while he constructed the disguise he needed to be Scott Ripley, a name that had shocked Abby to her core. Then he’d gone to his meeting with the caterer. He’d called her in between, but she was still a bundle of live wires. What if he got caught? What if he had the opportunity to take the painting during reconnaissance? Because once he had her grandmother’s portrait, he’d have no other reason to stay in Chicago. And she wasn’t ready for him to leave. She also wasn’t ready to deal with why that was. Instead, she focused on sweeping her balcony, and wondering why—of all the names Erica could have picked for Danny’s cover—she’d gone with Scott Ripley.
