Her mind jumbled thought about Emilio’s taut face, and the blood dripped on to the floor. And she saw Nick was making his flying tackle and she saw Sheila’s worried face.
The incident with Emilio had happened hours ago and she couldn’t get it out of her mind. She made a cup of tea to calm her nerves and she had swallowed some brandy.
Grace DeWilde opened her store in December and it made her to arrive at the store every morning before eight o’clock.

After the divorce, she opened the store. She helped by Rita and some employees. She was very happy because she could open it and decorated the groom with flowers. In addition, all the dressing rooms were luxuriously appointed, with rose-colored velvet settees. And she also opened café outside the store and gave two or three cups of tea in the balcony to enjoy the customers. She always updated the style of the gown every week and updated the mannequin’s attire every week. So, the customers would not feel bored.
Sighing with satisfaction, she slowly turned inspected the rest of the store. After straightening an imaginary wrinkle in the featured bridal gown, she turned and went to upstairs in her office. She’d been tired when she went home, and the work she hadn’t been able to clear away was still on her desk. She was just reaching for the stack when Jeffrey’s face suddenly came into her mind.
Since she’d awakened this morning, she’d been doing her best activity and not to think about him. It was very difficult to do. Divorced made her sad but in her heart, she still thought of him as her husband. Tears filled her eyes and she angry with herself. She tried not to cry, but in spite of her efforts, tears made it are away between her lashes and trickled down her cheek. With determination, she forced herself to sit up and reach for the pile of orders. Summoning the fierce concentration that had aided her in the past, she made herself go through the work, page by page, until at last that particular stack was done.
After that, the employees would come and she’d not feel alone again. And they worked as usual. Rita tried wearing the new gown and she wanted Grace gave her comment. Grace said that Rita was so beautiful with that gown. One of the employee said to Rita that she looked divine.
In the middle time of their work, one of Grace customer came and cried because the gown was ripped. She wanted the gown back to fine as the first. And Grace did it for her. After the employees went home, she had a guest. She was Marguerite Kauffman, friend of her daughter, Kate. She told Grace many stories about Dirk DeWilde.

And Marguerite invites Grace to come in her party at Vignoble Winery. But Grace couldn’t come because she had an invitation in her friend marriage. Marguerite felt sad and Grace too, because Grace wanted to know about the luxurious of Vignoble Winery.
A few days later after the incident at the clinic, Kate met her mother for lunch. Before she arrived, she had decided that she wasn’t going to mention what happened to Emilio. So, when Grace asked her about her work, she responded with a smile. Her mother likes Sheila, because she worried about Kate’s welfare. And Grace asked about boyfriend that who would fill Kate heart. She answered still nothing time to think about it.
Kate just told her mother that the men in the hospital just her friends. And she told to her mother about Sheila, she was smart doctor and best friend. Grace asked by Kate about her business and she answered if the business running good. And suddenly Grace told about her ex-husband project. She said that Jeffrey hired detective from San Francisco to fix the problem of jewels that stolen by on of DeWilde family. His detective name was Nick Santos.

Grace told that he met with Marguerite in her café last night. And told about Vignoble. And Kate directly answered if she knew that beautiful place. Grace also told if Marguerite worn a pin that very similar to on of the cat on the moon. It was very odd they said. They guessed about jewels theft by Dirk an emigrated to Australia. Then, Kate finished her lunch with her mother and Grace was very happy could lunch and told something about their family jewels. And they also guessed that Marguerite did know something about the missing jewels because she more about Dirk/Derrick, her husband.
Nick stopped his car outside the tall decorated iron gates of Vignoble Winery. He looked that house with irony because that place was a mansion. But, he could see it was impressive and he had to admit. This was like his travels in the world. He saw twin buildings of New York’s WTC, Eiffel Tower, and Buckingham Palace in England. The last was gambling casinos of Monte Carlo. He really loved her job as private investigator in rich family, DeWilde, because he could travels in the beautiful building in the world.
In outside, he was thinking how to approach Marguerite Kauffman, besides he was thinking of someone else, Kate. He couldn’t forget her in his mind and force her to go out from his mind. And he must do his job than thought her beautiful face.
After he passed the sign Nineteenth Street, took Highway 101 and turned onto Van Ness, he’d decided to apologize to a certain doctor named Kate.
In the clinic Kate was helping Rosalinda Sanchez out of the examination room and back into the reception area where Emilio was waiting, when she glanced toward the door and saw Nick. Kate asked Emilio to look after his abuela – Grandmother – and took the medicine if she feels bad or the medicine was running out. Kate also asked Rosalinda to back clinic again next week to check her health.
Kate saw Nick angrily and asked him what he doing was. Nick came to her to ask few questions. For the first Nick told her about the missing jewels of DeWilde. Then Kate asked him to call her first if he wanted to ask her. Nick didn’t want to bother her much, so invite her in a date tonight in café near with Kate apartment. And Kate agreed with it.
But for the first she refused him and looked for some excuses. With an effort Nick got her to date in café. Kate was going home and went to café. There was Nick that had waited her. Nick explained what he’d done a few days ago in the clinic. He explained if there was a punk killed in a second thought and Kate said if Nick was cynical to Emilio.

Nick told her partner in the cop, Maxine Roybal. She was good detective second grade in Police Department. Kate wasn’t sure what she felt, but maybe she felt a twinge of jealousy. Then she asked him about his telling about being shot. Nick said if there was nothing to tell more. Kate had suspected about Nick’s story, and she realized she was catching a glimpse of that private self now. That glimpse drew her to him, and she was suddenly shaken by how much she wanted to be with him. For a horrifying moment she almost asked him to come with her to her apartment. But at the last second, she held back.
Before she back to her apartment Nick asked when he could see her again. Kate answered that her schedule was complicated, but Kate invite him to go to her friend party in Vignoble on Saturday. She was too pleased he’d accepted her invitation to wonder about it.

After that, she suddenly wanted Nick to go home and leave her, but when he leaves Kate called him back. She said that she need much more than friend and space.
They had gone to the Vignoble and they arrived and Nick began planned something with Kate. Kate wasn’t agreeing about Nick’s plan because Nick would spy Erin’s and Marguerite house to find the jewels. But after Nick explained detail Kate agree although she still not agrees.
