iClue: Jessie’s Mystery

He was attempting to meet with her. That’s all she knew. Maybe it was Peter, maybe not. He didn’t want her to know who he was. He was hoping to interest the flirt in her, the girl who’d be intrigued to see who showed up. If she got another clue, would she follow it . . . all the way to him?

“I’ll have one Bacon-Blue Cheeseburger,” she ordered, after the noonday sun reminded them it was time for their Mud Hut lunch, “plus a large chocolate shake.”

“Oooh, Jessie’s stress-eating.” Emory’s eyes twinkled over the menu. “No Cobb salad and iced-tea? What gives?” “Nothing.”

“Or maybe we should break up once and for—”

Her text pinged, a link from a five-digit code. Her heart leaped. Him. She knew it. “You give the shops your information, and the whole next month is bots and trons.” Could they hear the lie in her voice? They seemed more interested in the complimentary chips and salsa, as she clicked the link.

Emory burst out laughing as the fragile, warbling voice thinned the air. “Who sprinkled your phone so generously with vintage randomness today?” Red-cheeked, Jessie lowered the volume. “No idea,” she muttered.”
