Maven stared at the computer monitor.

On a whim, she’d typed in the question—how many Cedar Streets are there in Ohio? One website said over 460. Another said over 1,000. Either way, it was more than she’d expected.

That was crazy. Why had she ever thought this was a good idea? And there was no reason to think Moses had even lived in Ohio. He could be anywhere.

Paul had kept his promise to her and for the past few weeks, the two of them drove to towns and cities searching for the gray Victorian house on Cedar Street. On their day trips, they’d managed to check out twelve streets that included the name Cedar. And of course, they found nothing even remotely resembling the drawing. Tomorrow would be their sixth day of searching. It was worse than searching for a needle in a haystack.

Paul was so sweet. He accompanied her on these wild goose chases without one complaint and he’d even managed to make the days fun. He hadn’t mentioned the word “date” again and for that, she was appreciative.

A friendship was all she needed.

The phone rang. Probably Paul. “Hello.”

“This is an automated call to remind you of your appointment with Dr. Young.”

Her neurologist. She’d completely forgotten her six-month checkup. She’d have to drive all the way to Cleveland just so he could tell her what she already knew. We have to wait and see. Maven sighed. It wasn’t the doctor’s fault. Maven had read enough literature to know that Bell’s palsy was very unpredictable. But she had to keep the appointment, because progress needed to be noted for her to return to her job next year.

Maven picked up the phone. “Paul?” She caught him on the first ring, a rarity when he was at work. “I have to go to Cleveland tomorrow for my checkup so I’m calling to cancel our driving around plans.”

“I’m investigating a home break-in and I have to visit pawn shops in the area to see if the stolen goods turn up, so I was going to call you later to cancel, too.” Paul was conciliatory. “We’ll start again the next day.”
