CHAPTER FIFTEEN

DECEMBER

Lindy paced her apartment. How had December fifth come so fast?

She stared at her suitcase and the boxes of wrapped gifts beside it. She’d debated long and hard on what to get each member of the Flint family. Ken and the kids were easy. It was the extended family that required consideration. She had no idea if they’d buy her gifts, so the ones she bought had to be good choices. Not too expensive in case they didn’t get her anything, and she hoped they didn’t. But not too cheap in case they did. She needed balance. In the end, she was certain she had it right. She hoped.

Every fiber of her being craved to go there again.

“Stop thinking about it,” she ordered herself.

She wandered into the kitchen and got a drink. She double checked that everything was unplugged or shut off. Denise would swing by a couple times and check the place, though neither of them anticipated any troubles. Her building was fairly new and well maintained.

Her cellphone chimed with a new message.

Ken - Are you on the road yet?

Lindy - Getting ready to load. I’ll be gone in ten. Just waiting for Denise so I can give her a key. I’ll text when I leave.

Ken - K
