Carmen’s brown eyes darted from him to his daughters and back. “I’m staying for a while.”
Her voice was calm. Almost pleasant. But the years he’d spent in law enforcement had him noticing the way her pulse pounded at her throat, a clear indication of just how nervous she was. Good. He didn’t want her to be comfortable.
What was it about Carmen Shields? He hadn’t noticed a woman since Anna’s death. So why was the room suddenly so hot? And why was the blood suddenly pounding in his veins? The awareness he felt made him even angrier.
“How long is a while?” His voice wasn’t pleasant and she flinched. He squelched the guilt that whispered in his ear to be nice.
“Are you asking as chief of police, or is this personal?”
His jaw tightened. Silence as a tactic generally worked.
She shrugged. “I’m staying two weeks.”
“That’s a long time. Don’t you have to get back to your home?” He knew from her driver’s license that she lived in New York City. The wild child had found a place fast enough to suit her.
“No.”
“Goody. Then you can come to our house for dinner tonight. Right, Daddy?” Robyn asked, looking pleased.
The look of shock on Carmen Shields’s face was priceless. He would have laughed if he didn’t know he was wearing a similar expression.
“No,” they spoke at the same time.
“Why not?” Robyn asked, looking between them.
“That’s very nice of you, but I have plans. Thanks for thinking of me.” Carmen glanced around the room as if searching for something to do with her hands, which were once again fluttering. Finding nothing left undone, she returned her attention to Trent and the girls. “Well, it’s time for me to leave. I really enjoyed working with you, Robyn. I hope all of you have a nice evening.”
