“Why does he think I’m here?”
“He has an unlisted number.”
“Oops.”
“Yeah.”
“Well, he fixed us up, didn’t he? Maybe Harry has a romantic soul after all.”
“Maybe,” Holly said, cuddling up to Grant again.

Holly had been at her desk for only a few minutes the following morning when her telephone rang.
“Miss Barker.”
“Miss Barker?” A woman’s voice.
“Yes.”
“This is Marina Santos. Do you remember me?”
“Of course, Marina. I hope you’re well.”
“I’m all right. You said I should telephone you if I knew anything else.”
“Yes. Is there something you forgot to tell me?”
“Yes, but somebody else didn’t forget.”
“What is it, Marina?”
“Carlos left something here that he didn’t want anyone to see.”
“What is it?”
“A notebook.”
“What kind of notebook?”
“Leather, with a ring binder.”
“What’s in it?”
“I’ve read it but I don’t understand it. It’s just a lot of numbers and letters.”
“You said somebody else didn’t forget?”
“Pedro, Carlos’s cousin. He was here last night asking about the notebook. He couldn’t find it at Carlos’s place.”
“Did you give it to him?”
“No.”
“Do you still have it?”
“I’ve hidden it.”
