The front door of the sheriff’s department opened and Ted walked inside. Justin had just finished up some paper work for the day. He looked up to see who stood in front of his desk.

“Dr. Wallace, how may I help you?”

“I really need to speak with the sheriff, and don’t tell me that he’s not in, or he’s busy. This is very important.”

“Hold on.” Justin picked up the phone and pressed the intercom button. “Sir? Dr. Wallace is here to see you. He says it’s very important.” He listened. “Okay.” He hung up the phone and turned to Ted. “Down the hallway, second door on the right.”

Ted hurried out of the room and down the hallway. He knocked on the door.

“Come in, Dr. Wallace,” Cal called out.

Ted opened the door, stepped inside, and closed the door behind him.

Cal looked up and motioned for him to have a seat across from him. Ted walked over and sat down.

“How can I help you?” Cal leaned back in his chair and waited.

“It’s Raven.”

“What about her?”

“She’s leaving tomorrow. She’s going back to New York.”

“She told you this?” Cal sat up straight.

“Yes, today at the funeral. You’ve got to stop her.”

“I tried that, and it didn’t work the first time. I doubt it would work the second time.” Cal gave his head a small shake.

“So is that why you had her arrested?”

Cal looked away for a moment. He breathed out. “Not entirely.”

“Callie threw her out of the house.”

“She what?” Cal put his arm on the desk and leaned in forward.

Ted nodded. “She threw her out.”

“Why?”

“Who knows why Callie does anything she does?”

“Raven didn’t say?”

“No. Raven isn’t saying anything. I tried to talk with her after the funeral, but she just clammed up. Only spoke about Suzanne taking the dog and a little about her trip back home. You’ve got to figure out a way to stop her.”

“Why is this so important to you?”

Ted lowered his head. “I’d rather not say.”

Cal watched him a long moment and then asked, “Are you in love with her?”

Ted’s head jerked up. “No! I mean, I’ve come to love her as if she were my own daughter, but no. Not like that.”

Cal kept his confused expression.

Ted adjusted himself in his chair. “Sheriff, you’ve got to trust me on this. She doesn’t need to go home yet.”

“Is she in any danger?”

“No, but she has been hurt so much so many times in the past. Leaving right now will only make it worse.”

“You’re not making any sense.”

Ted looked away and then looked back. “That book she wrote has everyone in this town wondering whether or not it’s fiction or truth. Have you read it?”

Cal shifted in his seat.

“I can tell by the look on your face that you have. I haven’t read it yet. Hadn’t had the time to. But I heard all about it at work today. Some of the nurses and a few of the doctors have read it or know someone who has. If she wrote it on the
