“You know what I want to do this weekend?” he asked Thomas, who was slouched in the seat with his eyes half-closed.
“Hmm?”
“I think maybe I’ll have a real-estate agent take me around to look at some houses.”
Thomas straightened. “Really?”
Clark swallowed. “Yeah. Want to come look with me?”
“Yes, I’d love to.”
He nodded. “Great. It’s a plan, then.”9
“Try to contain your enthusiasm when we look at this house, Mr. Harrigan,” Natalia Kosimov, Clark’s real estate agent, warned as they approached the ranch-style house in the Los Angeles suburb, Glendale. The dark-haired beauty, who originally came from Russia, had been one of Clark’s firm’s clients, Clark had told Thomas, and also a good friend.
