  ## Stranger Than Fiction
  
  
  ### By Emelle Gamble
  
  
    
  
  
    
  
  
  Dedicated to Philip Nuccio, with all my love
  
  
    
  
  
    
  
  
  “ _I’m going back to New York.”_
  
  
  Claire’s declaration was met by an equally
  
  
  defiant response. “I’m coming with you.”
  
  
  “ _No, Tony. I need to find out for myself
  
  
  what’s going on at Cauldron.”_
  
  
  He pulled Claire toward him, despite her
  
  
  resistance. Folding his arms around her slim shoulders, he backed
  
  
  her up against the deck railing. “Claire, you’re as much a victim
  
  
  as Patricia was. Don’t push me away because you are hurting. I want
  
  
  to help. I need to help you. I care about you.”
  
  
  “ _I care about you, too. But this is a
  
  
  bigger issue than a passing attraction between two people.”_
  
  
  His fingers tightened on her arms. “For God’s
  
  
  sake, stop that analytical distancing. I don’t feel just a passing
  
  
  attraction for you. Let your guard down, woman. Believe in what you
  
  
  feel. Believe in me.”
