Chapter Twelve – Kassia

“You look happy.” Dr. Bradford made his diagnosis as Kassia opened the front door and let him in.

Kassia put her hand to her cheek. “Do I?”

“Yes. And I don’t suppose it’s because you are looking after your aunt. Did something else happen? With Beck perhaps?” Dr. Bradford asked expectantly. “I saw the connection between you two yesterday.”

“We’re the talk of Bear Creek.” Kassia still had no idea why people were so intrigued by her relationship with Beck.

“It’s been a long winter, they have to talk about something.” He grinned and pointed upstairs. “How is the patient?”

“Stir-crazy. She’s insisting her ankle feels much better and that she could easily walk down the stairs.” Kassia put her hands on her hips. “It might be easier if I could take my aunt out in a wheelchair. Beck has offered to help me get her up and down the stairs.”

“I’ll get that arranged for you.” The doctor headed toward the stairs. “But I’ll take a look at Betsy first. I just want to check that her blood pressure has come back down. I also want to double-check she doesn’t have any signs of concussion before I give her the all clear to move around more.”

“She had high blood pressure?” Kassia asked, catching hold of the one piece of information she was unaware of. “She never said.”

“It’s normally fine and I suspect her fall caused it to spike, but I just want to check.” He headed for the stairs. “Betsy’s blood pressure and head injury worried me. I don’t usually make house calls for sprained ankles.”

“I appreciate you doing this for Betsy. Does she know?” Kassia asked.

The doctor shook his head. “She knows I was worried. But not how worried. If you hadn’t arrived last night and I couldn’t find anyone else to sit with her, I would have admitted her to hospital. Betsy would not have gone quietly. It’s a good thing Brad came and picked you up.” He winked as he took the stairs two at a time.

“Coffee?” Kassia called after him, grateful that Betsy had been in such capable care.

“Yes, please.”

Kassia went to the kitchen and gave Betsy some privacy while the doctor examined her. It also gave Kassia a break from her patient. Since Kassia returned from her visit to the diner, Betsy had seemed more agitated and she had no idea why.

As she put on a fresh pot of coffee, her phone beeped and she grabbed it from her pocket and checked her messages. There was a photo attachment from an unknown number.

Her fingers trembled as she tapped the screen and opened the attachment. It was a photo of Kassia walking down the street with Avery and Dahlia.

Bile rose in her throat and she covered her mouth with her hand as she stared at the photo. The photo was taken today. Someone was spying on her.

Cold fear prickled down her spine and she reached for the back of a chair and held onto it so tight, the whites of her knuckles showed.
