“If anything comes to me, you’ll be the first person I contact. I promise.”
“I appreciate that.” Harris stood. “I should go.”
“I’ll drop the keys off to you tomorrow morning.”
Harris scratched the top of Apollo’s head, and then ruffled Bear’s fur. “I promise I’ll take good care of them.” Harris made her way to the door with Cassie at her heels but stopped shy of opening it. “When you get back, maybe we can team up. Find real justice for David. Make sure he’s at peace.”
“Yeah. Of course.” Cassie smiled and watched as Harris left, pulling the door shut behind her. But as soon as the detective was out of sight, Cassie sank to the ground. Bear jumped off the couch and made his way over to her, nuzzling her hand with his nose. “Hey, handsome man. I’m glad you’re here.”
Apollo meowed from the couch but didn’t bother moving.
“You, too, Apollo. I don’t know what I’d do without you guys.”
Cassie let the tears slide down her face, and Bear cleaned them away one by one. She thought some of the pressure would be relieved now that she’d made it through David’s funeral, but it still sat on her chest like a ten-ton elephant. She’d even been looking forward to this trip, to forgetting what she’d left behind in Savannah, but now it was simply an inconvenience.
Cassie didn’t fault Harris for wanting her help. If the situation were reversed, Cassie would be asking the same thing. And it wasn’t like she didn’t want to solve David’s murder. It would bring her as much peace as it would bring him. But the journey to justice wasn’t going to be an easy one.
And something told her she wouldn’t like the answers she’d find.
