Chapter 15

Becca put her shirt back on, trying to imagine the cabin still there. All she could picture was that day Corey died. How horrible it all was.

She didn’t want to be in her own truck, so Sam borrowed a neighbor’s car and they drove out to the parking lot that connected to the woods. Becca was silent the entire drive, shocked that someone had bothered to rebuild the cabin. It hurt as well. Why would someone rebuild over the ashes of where her brother had died?

Karma was a bitch. That the place would burn down again. It was all terrible. Horrible. Awful.

Once they were parked, Becca climbed out of the car before Sam even had his seatbelt off and she bolted into the woods, following the hiker-made path to where the cabin was. She felt like a teenage kid again. As soon as she made it to the clearing, she screamed. The entire scene looked exactly like it had when Corey had died eight years ago, right down to the charred body that the coroners were hauling away in a body bag. Becca collapsed on the ground, staring at the building with tears in her eyes.

Sam came up from behind her and was mumbling profanities as he sat down on the ground beside her. When he tried to hug her to comfort her, she shrugged off his touch and wrapped her arms around herself, shaking her head back and forth over and over again. “This can’t be happening.”

“Becca, I’m sorry. I should have told you they rebuilt it.”

“Why? Why would someone burn it down?”

“I don’t know.” He sighed. “Look, I need to go over and talk to the fire crew. They are volunteers here. I know most of these guys. Let me just tell them we are here so they don’t think we’re spying.”

She nodded and watched him go. The path on the other side of the clearing would lead toward the backyard of her old house. She refused to look in that direction. The memory of eight years earlier too much of a plague. She shouldn’t have come back to the area. It was like she had stirred up dust that had barely settled years ago.

A limping golden retriever came up to her feet. Whining and rubbing its face against her leg, she rubbed behind its ears the way Corey had taught her to when she was very little. The dog nuzzled its snout by the back of her leg, hitting behind her knee. It buckled and she fell down laughing as the dog jumped over her and licked her face. It stood on three legs, refusing to put weight on the sore paw.

Becca sat up and the dog stayed right beside her. “Corey?” she called out, but the dog’s bark drowned out her voice. She laughed. “Okay, okay, puppy. I’ll wait here with you. Corey’s my brother, he just rescued you. He’ll be out in a sec. He’s pretty cool... for a brother.” Her fingers stroked through the soft hair as her free hand examined the dog’s paw.
