The Piper (2013)
“Olivia, who remembered the blond heartbreaker her big sister Emily had idolized, saw nothing of that boy in Jamison the man. He was tall still, big shouldered like McTavish, but stooped now, with an uncertain, sideways cant to his walk. He wore stiff, off brand jeans and a short sleeved plaid shirt, a UT ball cap, and Timberland boots that looked brand new. He was in his forties, but he looked older, and the shiny blond hair had dulled, showing gray. He was freshly shaved, jeans creased. He wor...e his clothes as if someone else had picked them out.

You know who only watches when there are so many people around. It should be safe if you go home before dark.’ Olivia looked at Amelia, who slid the cat glasses up on her nose and stared at Teddy.MoreLess
