before they hurt anyone else.”
    “Like tonight, you mean?” As soon as the words left his mouth, he gave himself a mental head slap. Idiot. As if she isn’t scared enough?
    “What are you saying?” Hannah went pale. “You don’t think it could be the same two men who…?” She took another quick gulp of her wine, her face a mask of pure terror.
    Chase shot to his feet and rushed over to her side. He wanted to take her in his arms, but knew he shouldn’t. Not again. “It’s doubtful. And I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. But if it was the same two guys, they were smart enough not to lay a hand on you. I’d have hunted them down like the animals they are if they’d harmed one hair on your head. In fact, finding them will be my main priority from this moment on.”
    “I…thanks. That’s good to know.”
    She did her best to offer a reassuring smile, but Chase wasn’t fooled. He refilled his own glass, then scooted over to the opposite end of the couch. “Listen, I think the best thing for you right now is to get your mind off it completely. Why don’t we watch a movie?” He checked out some of the titles in the DVD tower. “Something mindlessly funny like Liar Liar or Shrek .”
    She leaned back and cocked her head. “ Shrek ? Really? So much for not thinking I’m a little girl.”
    Chase feigned a look of outrage. “I happen to like Shrek . Besides, it’s in your DVD collection, and I can’t imagine Drew or your dad bought it for themselves.”
    She rolled her eyes. “Remember when I used to babysit the Brolsky twins? They were complete terrors, and the only way I could get them to settle down was to put Shrek on. When they moved away, they left the movie behind.”
    “Okay, so no Shrek . Anything in particular you’d like to watch?”
    “What I’d like to do is talk.”
    “About…?”
    “Well…”
    She took several small sips of her wine, taking her time as if she were about to broach a difficult subject. Normally, he’d comment on how fast she was sucking down the wine, but today was a far from normal day, so he kept his opinion to himself. When she looked up at him again, a mischievous smile curved those luscious lips. “Are you seeing anyone?”
    Chase barely held back a sigh of resignation. He definitely hadn’t seen that coming. “I think you should pick another subject.”
    “Why? Have you suddenly gone shy on me?”
    “No. There’s just…nothing to talk about, that’s all.”
    “So you’re not seeing anyone?”
    “Are you seeing anyone?” he countered, becoming a little uncomfortable.
    “Nope. Now your turn to answer the question.” The little wiseass had the nerve to grin.
    God, how he’d love to kiss that smug look off her face. “No, I’m not seeing anyone. Happy?”
    “Are you interested in anyone?”
    He laughed. “What is this sudden interest in my love life?”
    “Why are you dodging such a simple question? We’re friends, aren’t we? I need to get my mind off of what happened tonight, you said so yourself. So indulge me. Are you interested in anyone?”
    Chase tried to hold her gaze, but as if his eyes had a mind of their own, they dropped to her lips.
    She licked them as if she knew exactly what she was doing to him.
    “Yeah, I am.”
    “Oh. Well, awesome. Who is it? Details, please.”
    Was it his imagination or did she seem less than enthused by his answer? “Sorry, but that’s not something I care to discuss.”
    “With me?”
    “With anyone. Look, it’s been a long day, for both of us. Maybe we should call it a night and get some sleep. I’ll even take you out for breakfast in the morning…unless you’re too hung-over to roll out of bed before they start serving lunch.” He smiled in an effort to ease the tension.
    Hannah playfully pursed her lips, but then her eyes widened, and she set her glass down with a thunk. “Crap, I just thought of something—I’m going to have to open the diner tomorrow! Hutch usually does the
