CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

“Such a shame about the car,” the man who was watching the technician work said. “Don’t see many like these in town.”

Eli chatted with the men while he waited, glancing around the area every once in a while, wishing he could see something that might give him answers about who was behind the threats. If only things could be solved so easily.

It wasn’t very long before the cabin door opened, and Anna reappeared. She had the handle of a suitcase in one hand and a bag in the other. Eli went up the steps to the porch two at a time to reach her side.

“Let me.” Eli’s fingers brushed hers as he took the handle of the suitcase, then he held out his hand for the bag, which she easily relinquished to him.

“I decided to just bring everything.”

“I think that’s a good idea.” He liked the thought of her being closer to his family in case something happened. And closer to him too since he’d be staying in the lodge as well.

He carted the suitcase and bag to the truck then made a couple more trips back and forth as she brought out her other bags. When Anna came out with her final items, they said goodbye to the policeman and the tech then climbed into the truck.

“Do you mind if I go by my place so I can pick up a few things?”

She swung around to look at him, her eyes going wide. “I don’t mind at all.”

Eli knew she’d been wanting to see his workshop, and this might be a good time to show it to her. If nothing else, it would offer her a distraction from what was going on, and if giving up a piece of his privacy would help with that, he was happy to do it.

Starting the truck, he drove slowly up the winding road that led to his home and workshop. Anna didn’t say anything, but he heard her gasp as his place came into view.

“That is beautiful, Eli,” she said. “Did you design it yourself?”

“Basically. I worked with an architect to make sure that what I wanted was possible, and then I built it myself with some help from a few of the guys in town.”

He pulled to a stop in front of the stairs. “My workshop is at the back, so come on into the house. I’ll take you through.”

Anna was already out of the truck and waiting for him when Eli came around it. He led the way up to the front door and opened it for her. There was a sound of movement from the kitchen, and Anna came to a stop, glancing over at him.

“Don’t worry. That’s just Shadow.” Eli turned to see his dog amble into the room. He may move slower than he once had, but he was still alert.

“He’s beautiful,” Anna said as Shadow approached her. “What breed is he?”

“He’s a bit of a mutt, actually. We think he has a little husky, a little shepherd, and something else that gave him that solid black coloring.
