good way.”
    â€œRemind me again how we got to talking about me and not about why you haven’t given this guy your phone number?”
    Jen shrugged. “It seemed a little weird to be in the police station reporting what I thought was a crime and then flirting with the guy at the desk. Then they’d really think I was crazy.”
    She had a point, Selena thought. The situation certainly wasn’t ideal. “Okay, so that means we have to find a way for you to talk to him without it being some sort of official police business.”
    â€œEasier said than done,” Jen said dejectedly.
    â€œIt’s not ideal, that’s for sure, but I think that with a little effort we can come up with something. Who knows, maybe we’ll get into some kind of trouble and need a hot, single policeman to come and help us!” she said with a laugh and smiled when Jen joined in with her. With that, Selena stacked up all the papers she’d been reviewing, placed them in a folder in her briefcase, snapped it shut, and put it away in the guest room. A quick glance at her watch showed it to be barely eight o’clock. “No more work for tonight. Let’s do something.”
    Jen squealed with delight. “Seriously? You want to go out? You’re not messing with me, are you?”
    Selena forced a bright smile and nodded. “Absolutely. It could be fun going out for drinks, maybe some dancing…a girls’ night out.” About as fun as a root canal, but clearly this meant a lot to Jen. So for tonight, she’d grin and bear it. She’d dance and drink and maybe fake-flirt with someone, and then she’d be off the hook for a little while—at least where Jen was concerned.
    Doing a little happy dance, Jen started rambling off places they could go and things they could do. “We are going to have so much fun. I promise!” She practically skipped down the hall to her bedroom as she continued to talk excitedly about all of the fun they were going to have.
    Not quite sure about that, Selena simply nodded and watched Jen as she went to her room. With a heavy sigh, Selena headed back to the guest room like a person heading to their own execution. There was no getting out of it now, and for one night, she’d survive. Hopefully.
    With that pleasant thought, Selena shut the door to her room and started to get ready.
    Jen waited until she heard the guest room door close before picking up her phone and calling William Montgomery with an update. The whole situation still felt a little cloak-and-dagger for her, but she was just as committed to this as the Montgomerys were. She waited patiently while William’s assistant placed her on hold and hummed along to the music.
    â€œWilliam Montgomery,” a jovial voice answered.
    â€œHi, um…Mr. Montgomery. It’s Jen Lawson. How are you?”
    â€œMiss Lawson! Wonderful to hear from you. Has Selena arrived yet?”
    â€œToday actually,” she said quietly, keeping her voice down just in case Selena came out of her room. “We’re going to go out tonight and celebrate.”
    â€œThat sounds good. Are you taking her someplace where James might be?”
    â€œUnfortunately, no. I wasn’t able to find out where James hangs out, but I’m working on it.” She briefly filled him in on her situation with Todd and how she had visited James several times.
    â€œAre you all right?” William asked, concern lacing his voice. “Is James taking care of this?”
    â€œHe’s doing all he’s allowed by law. Right now it’s just a nuisance more than anything. But James is keeping an eye on the situation for me.”
    â€œWell, that’s good. I wish you didn’t have to deal with it. Now I kind of feel bad about involving you in my little hobby,” he said with a chuckle.
    â€œAre you kidding me?” Jen laughed. “This has been a great
