Forbidden Territory & Forbidden Temptation. Пола Грейвс

you off the road? McBride just said it was an accident.”

      “I don’t know who it was or why he wanted to hurt me,” Lily admitted. “It doesn’t make any sense—the kidnapper who called me the other day seemed to want me to give Andrew a message. But maybe I spooked him when he realized I’d seen him hit Abby.”

      “Have you had more visions since then?”

      “Yeah. A really strange one.” Glad for a sympathetic ear, Lily told Rose about the second little girl who’d appeared in her visions of Abby. “It was so strange. It was like she’d been watching Abby and me.”

      Rose’s eyes glittered. “Creepy!”

      “It didn’t feel creepy, though,” Lily said. “At first, maybe, but after that it seemed sort of sweet. How she’d been watching over Abby.”

      “You think she knows Abby?”

      “I think she’s connected somehow. Maybe a cousin or something. Something about her looks familiar.”

      “Why would Abby’s cousin come to you in a vision?”

      Lily shrugged. “I’d love to ask Andrew Walters about the little girl, but I promised McBride I’d stay away from him.”

      Before Rose could respond, Jezebel jumped from the counter onto the kitchen table, knocking over Lily’s tea.

      “Jezzy!” Rose jumped up to avoid the liquid spreading toward her.

      Lily shooed the cat away and crossed to the counter to retrieve a roll of paper towels to mop up the mess, while Rose grabbed the newspaper off the table to keep it from getting wet.

      When Lily dumped the soaked towels and returned to the table, she found Rose gazing at the paper, a strange light in her eyes.

      “What is it?” she asked.

      Rose turned the paper around, showing Lily a front-page photo of McBride and a couple of detectives Lily didn’t recognize, manning phones at police headquarters.

      Rose pointed to McBride. “This is McBride, isn’t it?

      Lily nodded, chill bumps rising on her arms. The picture caption didn’t identify him by name. “How’d you know?”

      Rose’s grin split her face from ear to ear. “Sugar, he’s the man you’re going to marry.”
