The Reluctant Cowgirl
“Jeremy closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them. “I’m begging you, if you have any information about my daughter, please call.”
He stared at his own face on the TV screen. Maybe he should have shown more emotion.

As the camera broke away to show the anchorwoman, who was giving the phone number and reiterating the plea, he looked around the crowd...ed McCord living room.
From across the room, sitting at the table with two phones on it, Crystal nodded and smiled. Beside her, Elyse stared at the phone in front of her as if it were going to open up and take a bite out of her hand.
