Book Cover & Preview Text
When Gerald left the office, Jim took the note that Rebecca Fitch had given him; the message was written in bold letters: I WANT YOU. Jim placed the note back into his shirt pocket.
A few minutes later he entered Rebecca's art room. She was helping a student with a portrait. He could understand why the older boys were enchanted by her, but why she would seek the company of a school-boy was an enigma.
When she moved away from her student she caught sight of Jim standing in the doorway and quickly went to him.
"Is this a professional visit or social?" she asked.
Her hair reminded Jim of the mink coat that he had purchased for his wife last Christmas. Becky's smile and emerald eyes contrasted well with that raven hair.
"Professional, but it can wait. See me during your free period."
