"RI?" Jace's voice brought her back.
She blinked. "The Love Talker? Who's that?" was all she could think of to ask. She turned to Jace and looked at him. "And are you sure it's him? Her? It? Them?"
Jace kissed her forehead. "They don't know, baby. I don't know. It may be a possibility." Another kiss. "That's all. It's something we need to look into, see if it connects. Then, we'll go from there." He held her hand tightly. "Okay?"
Silently nodding, Riley willed herself to be calm. Beside her, Jace's phone was vibrating. "Yeah... I-I guess I'm a little wound up."
Eric smiled at her as Jace stood to take the call. "No worries," he said, taking her hand. "You have the right to be frazzled."
And, for the first time, it seemed as if Riley saw Eric. Really saw him.
