A vibration
in his pocket caused Sands to wake up.
He dug his out his phone and answered it quietly, as not to wake Grace.

�Got something
for me?� he asked softly, knowing it would be Harold.

�More than
you probably want at the moment,� Harold said.
�Why are you whispering?�

�What the
hell are you talking about?�

Harold
chuckled. �So she hasn�t opened up her legs
or anything else for you, huh?�

Why
hasn�t she said anything? Why is she� �She�s loaded?� he asked, avoiding saying
anything about Harold�s rude question, though Sands never would have found it
rude before.

�Yeah,
really makes me wonder why she decided to take a measly ten grand to take care
of your sorry ass for the week.�

A setup? Christ, is this all some sort of fucking setup? �Where�s her money come from? Does she have a record or��

�She�s
clean, Sands. But this Michael just
showing up at your door��

�I�ll call
you later.� Sands hung up the phone and
left it on his bed. She�ll come
clean � now. My usual
interrogation methods aren�t an option � have to try something new. He made his way back to Grace�s bed and
crawled in beside her.

�Missed
you,� he heard her sleep-filled voice say.

What? All right, that proves it. All of this is a fucking se up. Set me up and watch me fall?�That�s my job. �Missed me?�

�Mm
hm.� Her eyes still closed, she found
his body and tried to get back into the position she had been in earlier, but
Sands wouldn�t let her. �What�s wrong?�

�Can you
wake up for a bit, Gracie?�

Grace
opened her eyes and sat herself up.
�Jeffrey, what�s going on?�

He smiled
at her, his eyes closed. �I just want
to talk to you, if that�s all right.�

Grace
smiled back at him. �Of course it is.�

�You know,
I opened up to you about my fuck up father and my sister, but all I know about
you is that you came here to get away from the fucker that wound up following
you.�

Grace�s
eyes lit up. �You mean you want to know
more than that?�

Sands
wrapped his arms around her. He lowered
his mouth to her neck and lightly kissed her.
�I want to know everything about you,� he whispered. He was positive that his technique was going
to work.

�And I
get?� she asked, teasing.

�Whatever
you want, Gracie.�

You,
Jeffrey�all I want is right here. She
shut her eyes tightly for a moment, shaking away the thoughts. Can�t have you though � you�ll be gone in
a few days and you�re really nothing more than a guy I�ve been sleeping
with�right?

�Gracie?�

�Hm?� She realized that she�d been silent. �Oh, sorry�so, where do you want me to
start?�

�What do
you do for a living?� Let the lies
begin.

�You�ll laugh,�
she said softly.

�I
won�t.� His tongue traced around her
ear. �I promise.�

�I own and
run a shop.�

�Care to
elaborate on that?� he chuckled.

�I�m a
movie geek,� she confessed. �What I run
is a shop that specializes in memorabilia and things that people pay far too
much for on Ebay.�

�And how�s
business?�

�Not too
bad�not too good either. Honestly, I do
it because I like doing it, not because I need the profits.�

�Everyone
needs profits, Gracie.�

Grace
pulled away from Sands. �Really,
Jeffrey, I don�t. I�m sort of, well,
financially well off.�

He acted
surprised. �You don�t say.�

Grace
sighed. �My father worked in the
diamond district in New York City. He
died of Cancer a few years ago and I�got everything.�

Why is
she telling me this? Does she know that
I know something? �Grace, if you
have no money troubles, then why are you here now, hm?�

Shit,
what am I supposed to say to that? I
can�t possibly love this guy. I don�t
know him well enough�but maybe that�s why I�
He kills! He could be lying
about everything � everything!
Hell, he could work for�
No. This is just me being a
chicken shit about absolutely everything.
People meet and marry in a day, so why is it so ludicrous that I could
actually be falling in love with some rogue CIA agent that had his eyes yanked
out of his head. Oh, right, that entire
thought is just pure insanity�

She
can�t answer me� �Gracie, you
O.K.?�

�I tried to
think that it was about the money, I really did, even though I don�t need
it. It was more like an adventure
though, you know? I mean, I find some
guy on the street � who I honestly think I won�t be able to stand � but I get
offered a��

Sands�
voice took on a harsh tone. �Jesus,
Grace, do you think that losing my sight takes away my ability to see through
people?�

�What?�

�An
adventure? What kind of lame ass story
is that? This isn�t some fucking
movie! Why are you here?�

Tears began
to roll down her cheeks. �Well, it was
because of you, but now I don�t think that�s the case.�

�Me?� Sands
laughed, coldly. �That�s even less
believable.�

Grace�s
temper flared. �You�re a fucking
lunatic, Sands!�

Sands?

�Someone
has feelings for you and knows damn well that you have them too and you try to
turn everything into something that�s meant to fuck with you!�

�You have
fucking �feelings� for me? This is the
shit you�re trying to pawn on me?�
