that was the beauty of this , knowing he would n't , knowing he would take her there as many times as she needed to go . he did n't think it would be wise to find himself alone with her on a day off when nobody else was expected to show up . the woman watched me for a moment , shoving her hands in the pockets of her white-and-mustard-yellow-striped apron . if i needed to stash anything , id do it in that locker . nick gripped her arms from behind .
