As Intentions Shift

New to the area Grayson Carter rolls into a small town looking for a job at the local bar, where he meets Jude Williams: the owner's handsome older brother who seems to hate the air Grayson breathes. Both of them have their secrets, but can they let down their walls enough to let each other in? -- "My turn. I like the way your sister talks about you. You’re like a hero to her, that kind of bond is really incredible." Jude flips his hand, catching Grayson’s fingertips on his palm with his thumb. He rubs his thumb up Grayson’s middle finger contemplatively. "You always smell like hazelnut coffee." His voice is soft. Grayson lowers his voice to almost a whisper. "It’s a pretty common combination, it’s not that special." "It is when you do it." -- As Intentions Shift is created by Emily Smith, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 42: Sister

Grayson hadn't slept. He hadn't even left his motel room, in fact. He was committed to finding his client, but the truth was that he had so little to go off of.

Most people spend their lives in complete visibility, whether they know it or not. Yet, so much information is freely available at the touch of a finger.

There was something odd about this case, though. Jude was easy enough to find; he lived in plain view. There was no doubt in his mind that his client could have found him on his own.

So why hire Grayson? He felt like he was missing half of the picture.

He rubs his eyes and sits back from his laptop. If his client was smart enough to conceal his identity from Grayson, it was likely he wouldn't have much information available on the internet. He knew he was dealing with something new here. It felt like he was trying to catch a ghost.

The sound of knocking lurches Grayson out of his thoughts. He looks at the door in confusion, slowly approaching it.
