You know when you have something big weighing on your mind and you toss and turn all night in between flashes of nightmares and uncomfortable half-dreams that leave you unsettled, unrested and, in general, at odds with the world?
Not saying that was my night, but. Yeah. Sigh.
That's how I ended up out of bed and in the office at Fleming Investigations, Petunia on her dog bed next to my desk, tackling paperwork at 6AM while my husband still slept at home. An early text and the looming thunderstorm that had rolled over Reading the night before delayed our first dive of the day for at least a few hours. No way could I stay in one place without a distraction-non-Crew related, get your mind out of the gutter-which meant an early morning trip into the wilds of my hometown where I even had to make my own coffee since Sammy's didn't open until seven.
