shoulder at her, a rakish grin on his face. Probably thinking I told you so. A few minutes later, he put a plate down next to her computer. Next, he placed silverware and a cloth napkin near the plate.
    He still hadn’t said a word. She had a few more sentences to type before she could eat. Now that she was hungry.
    “Eat,” he said. “Before it gets cold.”
    “I just have a few more things to do.”
    “I’d rather you enjoy it while it’s hot.”
    “It’s just food. Now let me finish.” She typed the last few sentences then closed her laptop. She pushed it away then lifted up her fork. Colin was staring at her.  “What?”
    “Just food?”
    She shrugged. She could take or leave eating. She only did it because she had to. There was no joy in eating for her. Most of the time she heated up something frozen or called for takeout. Food was merely fuel.
    She took a bite and registered that she was eating a pretty good omelet. Tasty cheese and fluffy. He ate his in silence, but she could see out of her peripheral vision that he was sending glances her way.
    Finally she had enough “Why are you staring at me?”
    “Because food is part of life. It’s this amazing part of life. We have to eat several times a day. Why not enjoy it?”
    “I never thought about it that way. Eating is something necessary.”
    “You make it sound like a necessary evil.”
    “Well, yeah. If I didn’t have to eat I could get more done in a day.”
    He frowned and went back to his food. The doorbell rang as she was finishing up. “I’ll get it.”

    Kelly waited at the door, a large box in her hand. A few years ago, before she was able to do this wirelessly, the box would have been much bigger. She wanted to get started so she’d be done by the time her daughter came home.
    She missed her daughter when she spent time with her father. Even though she was glad her ex was a good father, she wished things were different. Shrugging, she shoved the thoughts away. No need to rehash old business.
    Time to focus on new business. This client could do good things for their company.
    Tamra answered the door. “Hey.”
    “Quiet night I hope.”
    “Yep,” she said as she led Kelly to the kitchen.
    “Can I set up my stuff in the dining room? There’s a nice big table there that will make a good work space,” she said.
    Colin nodded. “Go ahead. I’ll be in the basement studio most of the day.”
    “Then we won’t get in each other’s way.”
    Kelly noticed that there were two plates on the counter. Tamra had eaten with a client? She rarely crossed that line. Not that Kelly thought it was a line. Tamra did. She kept her private life closer to her than Kelly felt the need to.
    Probably going back to her own stalker incident. Kelly didn’t judge.
    “I’m heading out,” Tamra said as she packed up her laptop into a case.
    Colin looked pained for a moment. “Will you get back to me about what you’ve found out about my employees?”
    “It’ll take a few days,” Tamra said. “I’ll call you and let you know when I can come by. Does that work?”
    “Sure,” he said.
    She left and he looked like a lost puppy dog watching its owner go to work. Poor soul. He didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell with Tamra. She was a single girl who was going to stay that way.
    Kelly unpacked her box in the dining room. Colin stood in the doorway. She had to admit it would be fun to watch the situation.
    “Do you have any questions?” Kelly asked.
    “Will you be filming?”
    “Yes we will. After we’re done you can have the discs to destroy them or trust that we destroy them. I won’t have anything in personal areas like the bathroom or the bedrooms. That said, there will be cameras outside in the hallways and outside so we can get a full view of the grounds.”
    “Will you be putting up the cameras?”
    “No, I’m afraid of heights. The techs will be here in a half an hour. I just like to lay out the equipment before they get
