afraid.”
    Miss Lily opened to door and brought out a new pitcher of sweet tea and an extra glass for Paige. “So, have we decided on Marshall then, or one of the others?”
     
    Dani stared out the window of Paige’s pick-up truck as they made their way to Kenna’s house for the debriefing. Maybe she had been a little too fast to judge Paige and Kenna. Paige told her about her family of five brothers and her love of the outdoors. She learned that Paige had started Southern Charms all on her own and was not the simpering Southern Belle she had assumed her to be. She was starting to realize her first impressions of everything in Keeneston were wrong. As she and Paige talked and shared stories about growing up in the country, she felt some of her bitterness wash away.
    They pulled into the driveway and parked next to the standard government issued black Ford Explorer. Dani looked over at Paige when she groaned.
    “I can’t stand him. I knew he was going to be here tonight, but he just drives me crazy.”
    “Who does?”
    “Agent Cole Parker. He just, it’s just that he’s, I don’t know. We just don’t see eye to eye.”
    “Should I trust him then? I know people in the FBI are involved. Could he be one of them?” She closed the car door she had just opened and turned to Paige.
    “No, it’s not that. He’s been a wonderful agent. He’s working with higher ups that he personally knows and trusts to keep the whole investigation off the record. I can’t explain it, we’re just oil and water. Come on, I see him getting out of the car so I better introduce you two.” Paige opened the door and walked around to Dani’s side of the car.
    Dani opened the door and stood waiting for Agent Parker to finish his phone call before introducing herself. It was hard not to notice Agent Parker. He had silver eyes under jet black hair that was cut short, but not so short you couldn’t run some through your fingers. All combined with a nose that looked to have been broken before gave off the most alluring appeal.
    Paige moved around the car to stand next to Dani, waiting for Agent Parker to finish talking. Dani saw Agent Parker’s eyes immediately go to Paige. Hmm, interesting.
    He said something into his phone and then hung up. “Don’t you think that skirt is a little too short?”
    Dani was startled a little and then tried not to laugh. He was so serious and was posturing like a father of a teenager. She felt Paige stiffen next to her and put her hands on her hips.
    “You’re right about a problem with the length. Thank you for pointing it out,” Paige rolled the waist band of her jean skirt one more time, hiding the cute ribbon belt and raising the skirt another inch up her toned thighs. With that move Paige turned to Dani, “Dani, Agent Asshole. Agent Asshole, Danielle De Luca.”
    The second Paige had raised her skirt Agent Parker’s teeth had clenched. She didn’t know it was possible for him to bite his teeth together any harder than he already was until she watched Paige sashay right past them and climb the brick stairs to head inside. Agent Parker watched every step Paige took until the front door closed behind her.
    He cleared his throat and finally turned to look at Dani. “Sorry about that. She’s just so… Anyways, I am Agent Cole Parker. I am really interested in hearing what you have to say tonight. I am hoping you can give me a different angle to work things. My team and I always seem to be one step behind Chad and I would love to turn the tables.”
    “I hope I’ll be of some help, Agent Parker.”
    “Cole. We all work so close together we’ve dropped all titles. Come on, let’s head in. I think we’re gathering on the back porch.”
     
    Dani stepped out of the house and onto a porch painted white. She saw over-stuffed chairs and a loveseat covered in blue and white striped material. There were potted plants on each side of the door and along the wooden railing. Pinks, reds, and purples all
