The number wasn’t one I recognized, but the area code was all too familiar. I wanted it to be a wrong number, but that would be too easy. No way a call from a thousand miles away could conveniently be a wrong number. Not when it was the same area code I’d hoped never to receive a call from again as long as I lived.
With my heart in my throat, I dialed my voicemail, and I wasn’t prepared for the words that followed:
“I’m hoping I have the right number and have reached Meredith Whitley. Meredith, this is Anthony Raymond from the district attorney’s office. I need you to give me a call back as soon as possible at the following number.”
My mouth went dry. I ended the call without writing down the number—it matched the one on my missed calls list—and stared at the screen.
Why now?
Check back next week for more WIP Wednesday!
Oooo, interesting! But I'm really biased toward this series. :)
ReplyDeletehehe thanks :D
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling her past would come back to haunt her.
ReplyDeleteYep, I kinda knew it would too. And I can only work on this book in small doses because her ex just creeps me out.
ReplyDeleteHe creeped the crap out of me in the first book. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteOoh, just wait...
ReplyDeleteGreat, now I have to read it! I'll have Scott come sit by me while I do. :)
ReplyDeleteNot to worry...Scott will be there. ;) He spends a lot of time naked in this book. Dirty, filthy man...
ReplyDeleteThat's why he's so popular! ;)
