"Good morning," Gideon murmured, brushing his fingers through Gretchen's long, dark hair. They'd had a hot, sexy night and now it was a warm, peaceful morning of soft light and quiet music. Bones's evil twin had gone back to Canada, Podmore had been acquitted of the murder of Gideon's old girlfriend Dorcas, Ted and Andromeda were finally back together, and Fabian had been successfully rescued from the desert island and Gideon was confident he would get over his amnesia. Really, if Marlene would just wake up from her coma, the world would be just about perfect.
"Gideon?!" a gasp came from the bedroom door.
He sat up sharply, only to find Dorcas staring at him. "Dorcas? But...but you're dead!"
"They thought I was dead!" she corrected, her gaze snapping to the woman in bed beside Gideon. "Well. It certainly doesn't take you long to move on, does it?"
"Dorcas, please, let me explain!"
Gretchen was already getting up, apparently unconcerned about the fact that she was facing down a dead woman in a pair of pajamas. "No, let me explain," she said coolly, quickly picking up the gun from the nightstand and pointing it at Dorcas. "I killed you once, Meadowes, and I'll do it again - and you, too!" she snapped at Gideon. "I'll do whatever's necessary to protect my secrets...and that includes murder!"
