Chapter 75 – Ethan Faces the Press
Ethan
The day after the arrest, I wake up before dawn, striding into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee and rouse my ex- hausted brain. It’s still dark out, but when I exit my bedroom I can see the lights are already on down the hall. When I reach the living room I find Jane curled up in the window seat, wide awake and staring out at the waking city.

“Have you been up all night?” I question, studying the dark circles beneath her eyes.
She shrugs, averting her gaze. “I had a lot on my mind.”

I’d been sorely tempted to stay with her until she fell asleep, but she clearly wanted to be alone so I didn’t
