“Whichthe house and is well aware of our new security updates,” Rachel adds

“I think you should ain,” Lynn blurts out as she pours coffee “At the very least, check into a hotel”

Rachel shakes her head “No, this is good This means he’s still fixated on her She’s hardly been hooes into hiding, we lose our chance to catch him”

“He’s watching,” I tell Lynn “That means he’ll be easy to lure into the open”

Joslyn doesn’t say a word Leaning against the counter, she just sips her coffee

I turn to Harry “That’s where we need you Joslyn and I have to go public with our relationship”

“Relationship?” he asks in confusion

“Fake relationship,” I aest population of people”

“Cara Peterson,” Harry says, and Lynn nods in agreement

“Who is that?”

“Only the biggest talk show on TV these days,” Lynn explains

“That ork,” I reply with a curt smile Joslyn seems to be disconnected from all of this—stuck in her own head

I leave it alone for now, addressing her h-profile restaurants with paparazzi, secure tickets to shohatever it is you do to get your girl out there I’ll be by her side the entire tiuy off”

“We’ll do an official press release,” Harry says as he whips out his phone and starts typing notes into it “I can get her on Cara’s show pretty easy She owes me a favor”

“I don’t like this,” Lynn reiterates, pointedly gesturing at Joslyn, who has her gaze pinned on her coffee cup Lynn puts her arer “I think this is just too dangerous”

“She’ll never be by herself,” I reassure her, and Lynn swings my way, eyes heavy with distrust “I promise she will be protected at all times”

Giving my attention to Joslyn, I address her specifically “But you have to be okay with this, Jos”

She finally acknowledges me, the first time since she slapped my face, which I ader but in deteret this solved

She then turns to Lynn, taking her hand “I trust Kynan to protectaffir in fear I want to be able to move on with my life and put all of this behind me”
