Silence filled the car. “He’s not a bad person, Della.”

“There was no wife.”

Chase’s mouth dropped open. “No. He saw some girls, sometimes.”
“So he’s a womanizer.”
“No. He used to be married. He said his heart belonged to one woman. He never got serious with any of the others.”
“What happened to his wife?” Della asked. “Did she leave him?”
He shook his head. “She was a medical researcher like him. There was an explosion.” Della saw Chase’s expression get serious.
“Sorry,” she said.
“Eddie had just walked out of the building. I think he felt as if he should have died with her.”
“That’s sad,” Della said.
“Yeah,” he said. “She was his bondmate.”
Della looked away, not wanting to think about that. “He still shouldn’t have let you go to the morgue.”
