CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Working with the new horses took my mind off everything else, like Dakota and Summer and Jordan, who was still missing. I was eating breakfast at the counter in the kitchen the next day when the news came on and I saw his picture flash across the screen.

“Turn it up,” I shrieked.

But Missy was in the middle of giving Owen a diaper change on the floor in the living room and didn’t have a free hand to spare and by the time I’d launched over them to grab the TV remote, Jordan’s picture had gone.

“Did you see that?” I said.

“See what?” Missy looked at me like I was kind of crazy.

“Jordan was on the news,” I said. “He’s officially a missing person now.”

I sunk onto the couch, feeling a little sick. It had been easy to imagine that Jordan had just run off with his friends and was having a good time. Easier to think that he’d forgotten about me instead of what I really feared, that something bad had happened to him. Accidents happened all the time. I knew that better than anyone. An accident had claimed my sister’s life. What if some random accident had done the same to Jordan?

“It’s a good thing,” Missy said, picking up Owen and throwing him in the air.

The baby giggled, making it almost impossible to remember that when he’d first been born, all he’d done was scream.

“How can it possibly be a good thing?” I said.

“Because people will be looking for him now. Police and people who watch the news will know his face. There is a good chance that they’ll find him.”

“Not if he’s dead,” I mumbled, looking at all the toys strewn across the floor like some kind of baby obstacle course.

“He’s not dead,” Missy said.

“But how do you know?” I asked her.

“I just don’t feel like he is,” she said vaguely. “I have a sort of sixth sense about these things.”

I wasn’t sure whether I believed her or not but after she had gone to put Owen down for his nap, I sat there and closed my eyes, trying to feel Jordan’s presence. It wasn’t there. I felt nothing at all, unlike the way I now felt about Summer, which was that her ghost was hiding around every corner, waiting to jump out at me. I didn’t think that Jordan was dead either but that didn’t mean that he was okay.
