If someone knew about Suzie and Ruby and was trying to hurt the family, they’d go after Ruby too. I was sure of it.

I stuffed my purse in the shrubs and wrapped Ruby’s arm around my shoulder, practically carrying her around the hotel to where the limos were parked. Dean saw me coming.

“What is wrong with her?”

“I don’t know. Call EMS, or if it’s quicker, get her to a hospital. I think she might have been drugged,” I said, handing her off to him. I opened the back door.

“And you?” he asked. “You aren’t looking too well.”

I wiped the sweat beading on my brow. “I only had a few sips of her champagne. Let me go back and grab my purse, and you can take me too.”

“Why don’t you stay in the limo with her, and I’ll go get it. Just tell me where you left it,” Dean offered.

“I’ll get it. It won’t take just a minute.” I kicked off my heels to jog around the house.

I searched the patio for it, where I’d hidden it in the shrubs so I could use both hands to carry Ruby. I grabbed the purse and lifted my gaze. My breath caught in my throat. Off in the distance was the horse stables I’d seen in my premonition, and if that weren’t bad enough, I watched Suzie sneaking inside.
