Despite the fact that Dane was close she had the overwhelming fear that something was terribly wrong.Several times she went to the window and looked out, searching for signs of Manuel. Each time, she didn’t see him, but the overwhelming relief she felt was quickly eaten away by fresh worries.Dane kept her busy running for this tool or that tool or holding the edge of a board while he cut it. But he was uncharacteristically silent. He seemed lost in his own emotions and thoughts.His unexpected mood shift only stoked her unease toward him, as well. When he’d fought Tony, his combat skills had been expert. He moved with military precision. When he’d seen Crystal, his eyes had reminded her of a cop’s eyes.Was Dane Cambia a cop?As the silence stretched between them, she was reminded that she didn’t know Dane Cambia at all. Since his arrival, he’d been secretive about his past, but she’d accepted that.Now she wondered why he was so careful not to reveal anything about himself. By midafternoon, she realized she had to get out of the house.
