on your own, Sam.”

      “I made a promise to that woman. I promised that if she testified she’d be safe.”

      “You promised her her ex would be in prison for the rest of his life.”

      Chin jutted, he nodded slowly. “He will be. And I intend to keep her safe until that happens.”

      “I’ll talk to Colin...”

      Sam’s head shot up. “I did not ask you to help me with this to get money out of that rich fiancé of yours.”

      “You didn’t ask, period, Larson. I’m on the High Risk Team, too, remember? I offered. And Colin donates money all over the state. He’s giving regularly to The Lemonade Stand now...”

      A unique women’s shelter in town that was changing the world one life at a time. Sam had been there several times, interviewing victims. It was a good place. Necessary. Deserving of any monies it could get.

      Bloom had spent time there after the trial...

      “Colin’s sister was a victim of an unethical police commissioner,” Chantel reminded him. “He’ll gladly support someone who is now caught in the system due to the commissioner’s professional demise. And even if he wouldn’t, Julie would. She has half of the Fairbanks fortune.”

      Sam wasn’t feeling charitable. Mostly because he couldn’t afford to be as charitable as Chantel’s intended. Or Bloom’s ex.

      Or Bloom, either, for that matter.

      All night he’d been aware of the fact that he’d taken the lovely princess out of her castle. Wondering how Bloom was acclimating.

      She was “slumming it,” as Chantel had just said about Colin. And Sam’s home was the slum.

      The dichotomy was not lost on him.

      And shouldn’t matter. He was in her life to do a job. Period.

      “I’ll make some calls,” he told Chantel. “Get a crew together. I’ll plan to pay them. If you come up with donations, they’ll be appreciated.”

      He’d only been married once. Hadn’t made any more money than his wife had so he hadn’t had to pay alimony. He’d acquired the cottage at a steal. Lucy didn’t care about diamonds or furs; she ate out of a forty-pound bag. And he made a good salary and had enough put away to pay for protection. For a while, at least.

      Plus, he had years ahead of him to rebuild his heirless savings.

      What good was a safety net if it couldn’t be used to keep someone safe?

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
