Chapter 10
'So, Mrs Messer, just how would you like to be entertained'
They? Who were they? Lindsay wondered. And why was someone calling him here? She realized that though she had begun to ask several times, she still didn't know what Danny did for a living. He'd either been interrupted or vague in his response. Just as he had been about why they had to meet with Quinton.
Danny rose, a resigned expression on his face. 'I'll only be a minute,' he promised Quinton. Turning toward Lindsay, he saw the tiny spark of panic entering her eyes. She didn't want him to leave. He didn't want to leave her alone with these people, either, but it was unavoidable. They wouldn't have come looking for him if it hadn't been. Something was up. He'd be as quick as he could. Danny leaned over her and squeezed her hand.
'It's okay,' he whispered. His manner more than his words were meant to reassure her. He looked at Quinton before following the bellman. 'Why don't you entertain my wife while I'm gone?'
Quinton's smile spread slowly as he looked at Lindsay. 'I would be honored.' The words were polite harmless. She couldn't have said the same about the look in his eyes. She was being ridiculous, she upbraided herself. Was she that much of a coward that she needed her husband around constantly to hold her hand? Danny appeared to already be forgotten as Quinton leaned over the table and took her hand. 'So, Mrs Messer, just how would you like to be entertained?
