Cheryl Reavis
“The night was so cold and the sound of her footsteps echoed across the frozen ground. He recognized her immediately, but he stayed in the shadows and watched her go into the house.
He waited—for her to come back out again—for whoever might be following her to catch up. He looked upward at the night sky. There was no moon visible, no stars. He marveled that she had been able to find her way, except that she, unlike him, had been born here. She had been a child here, played in these woods and alo...ng these paths. Of course, she would know the way, even in the dark. All the time he’d been hiding around Avery’s abandoned house, he had expected her to come to him—with no real reason for him to do so, except that he wanted it.

But then, he had always been undecided when it came to Caroline Holt.MoreLess
