She paled slightly and bit
her lip. Aw, hell. Was she having morning-after recriminations or was she just
worried that he'd say something about last night?
With a smile, Cade said, "Leave me some of that stuff, lady," as he
approached. He snagged a cup and filled it, then tossed in a few small ice cubes
from the nearby ice bucket.
To the room as a whole, he asked, "Anybody seen Mandi?"
Tony said that she'd gone to breakfast with John.
"Breakfast," said Cade, taking a donut from the tray by the coffee pot,
"Yeah. My next stop." Turning to Beth, he asked, "You had breakfast yet? If you
aren't on duty this morning, we can snag a free paper at the luggage check-in
and read the funnies over pancakes."
Beth seemed to consider the offer, then said, "Sure. I haven't eaten yet,
either. Give me a minute to check my messages," and headed for her desk.
Cade parked his rump on the corner of somebody's desk and sipped his coffee
as he snarfed another donut and waited for her. Beth's hands were trembling a
little, he noted. Well, he'd reassure her that he wouldn't tell anyone. That was
about all he could do, really.
