gives everyone a peek at the delicious filling when it’s time to serve dessert.)
    Follow the same procedure to fill and seal the remaining three turnovers.
    Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it into squares. Transfer the squares to the baking sheet, and fill and seal the remaining turnovers.
    When all the turnovers have been filled, sealed, and brushed with egg wash, sprinkle the tops with white sugar.
    Bake your turnovers at 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
    Remove the cookie sheet to a wire rack and let the turnovers cool for 5 minutes. Then pull the parchment paper and the turnovers off the cookie sheet and onto a waiting wire rack.
    These turnovers are delicious eaten while slightly warm. They’re also good cold.
    If any turnovers are left over (fat chance at my house!) wrap them loosely in wax paper and keep them in a cool place. The next day you can reheat them in the oven.

Chapter Six
    T he dimly-lit garage smelled of wet concrete blocks, soaked by yesterday’s midafternoon rain shower, lingering exhaust fumes from recently departed vehicles, and a potpourri of coffee grounds and old orange peels from the dumpster that sat against the far wall. It wasn’t the stuff that perfumes are made of, but to Hannah it smelled like home.
    Mike took her arm and walked her to the set of steps leading up to ground level. This took them past the dump-ster and Hannah noticed that he wrinkled his nose. “Tomorrow’s garbage day?” he asked.
    â€œThat’s right. Every Tuesday morning.”
    â€œI thought so. Something’s getting a little ripe in there.” Mike walked her to the covered staircase that led up to her second-floor condo.
    â€œCoffee?” Hannah asked when they arrived at her door, even though every tired muscle in her body was screaming for the comfort of a soft mattress and as many hours sleep as she could get. The last thing she wanted tonight was company, but it was only polite to offer.
    â€œNo coffee for me, thanks. It’s almost eleven and you need your sleep. I just want to make sure everything’s okay inside and you’re locked in safe for the night.”
    Hannah felt a warm glow start at her toes and move up her body to the top of her head. That was nice of Mike. Ever since she’d almost been killed six months ago, he’d been acting as her protector. And she could swear that he was making a real effort to curb his self-centered tendencies and put her concerns first. In her uncharitable moments, she thought it was probably because he was between girlfriends. And in her generous moments, she was sure that he really did love her to the exclusion of all others. Since she was a level-headed woman who saw the glass as neither half empty nor half full, but rather a glass with something in it and room to pour in more, she figured Mike’s true motivation was somewhere between the two extremes.
    Mike took the keys she handed him and unlocked the door. They both prepared to catch Moishe as he hurtled through the air into waiting arms, but no orange and white cat leaped through the doorway.
    â€œHe’s probably snuggled up on the couch with Cuddles,” Hannah said.
    Mike stepped in and turned back to her. “You’re right. Neither one of them is moving an inch. They’re too comfortable.”
    â€œThey certainly are!” Hannah followed Mike inside, and they stopped to pet the cats and scratch them under their chins. When both Moishe and Cuddles were purring blissfully, Mike moved on and Hannah stayed a few steps behind him.
    â€œIt was great the way you helped Jack with the apple peeler,” Hannah said, once Mike had checked the guest bathroom.
    â€œThat used to be my job when Mom made pies.” Mike opened the door to the guest room and bent to check under the bed. He made a move to open the closet, but Hannah grabbed his arm.
    â€œDon’t!” she
