Summary
She breaks her gaze away from the ceiling, gathering the courage to turn her head. Lisa is clearly lost in her own thoughts, her eyes flitting back and forth across the room, jaw clenching in quick succession. In the morning light, Carla is able to make out the dark shine of something on her lower lip.
“You’re bleeding.”

Summary
Just like that, Barbara’s perfectly mapped measurement system had been thrown out the window. The delicate lines she’d drawn around her lifelong indiscretions began to blur. Her impulse—the one that was once so carefully controlled—had suddenly come back to life, like deadly pathogens living beneath melting ice.
What's worse: Melissa wasn't fooled for a second.

Summary
Carla decides to bring Betsy with her to a work-related event, but car troubles threaten an end to her plan—until DS Swain steps in to help.
'She’s overdressed for the morning, if not the event she’s about to attend, Lisa thinks. A vision in black, hair straight, eyes sharp—and a signature pair of docs at the ends of her feet that lend her the slightest height advantage. When she’s close, like this, Lisa can smell her perfume and almost forget that she’s meant to be paying attention when Carla starts speaking.'

Summary
Melissa trails after her as Ava leads the way to Barbara’s office, giving a narrated tour of the suite of offices.
“There’s the coffee machine, and it’s broken more often than not, so I recommend you just buy it somewhere else. Restrooms, Janine Teagues’ (Senator’s assistant, you’ll meet her) office, my office, Joshua—”
“JACOB! For the last time, Ava, my name is JACOB!”
“—Hill’s office, the speech writer. And this…”
Ava pushes open the office door just in time to hear Barbara ask the recording technician “Is the mic still hot?”
At the shake of his head in the negative, she picks up a stress ball from her desk and flings it against the wall.
“Asshole!”
“And this is Senator Barbara Howard,” Ava mutters. She straightens and clicks her tongue. “Barb! Language.”
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Senator Barbara Howard's political ambitions are jeopardized when Secret Service Agent Melissa Schemmenti is assigned to her detail.
