Something in the back of her mind told Cam she was going to make a big decision tonight.

“I’ll do better than that,” she told him with conviction. “You’ll come home with me tonight and you’ll get a shower and a good night’s sleep. In the morning, I’ll call your mother for you. I won’t say you’re with me, only that I’ve heard from you. Then I’ll drive you to Canada.”

Bill stared at her, trying to decide if she was serious.
