Anson

It took some begging, some pleading, and a whole lot of groveling, but when Glory finished cleaning the kitchen and announced that she was heading up to bed, she “accidentally” left her keys behind on the kitchen counter. She was a watchdog with those keys and Anson knew that she had done it on purpose, although she’d never admit it.

“Will she get into trouble for doing that?” Eden asked. “I mean, your dad won’t fire her for leaving the keys on the counter, right?”

Duff shrugged, “If dad finds out about us going into his den, she’ll just tell him she must have misplaced her keys. He’d never fire Glory. He wouldn’t last one day without her.”

“Let’s get this over with. We need to figure out why Eden’s father blames our father for Bianca’s death. It might be the only way to put our two families back together,” Anson said.

“I don’t know,” Eden breathed. “I think we did a pretty good job of putting our two families back together earlier, in the pool house,” she teased.

Duff chuckled, “She’s not wrong, man.”

“If you two can get your mind out of the gutter for just a few minutes, we can search Dad’s office, and then we can get back to joining our two families,” Anson said.

Anson picked up the key to his father’s study and his brother and Eden followed him down the hall. He tried the door, finding it locked, and Eden poked his side. “Maybe use the key that Glory left for you.”

He pushed the key into the lock and turned it. “Thank you,” he grumbled. “I would have never figured that out without you.”

“You’re welcome,” she sassed, sticking her tongue out at him. Duff laughed and pushed past the two of them and into his father’s study.

“You two stand there and have your little spat,” Duff said. “I’ll check out Dad’s office.” He walked over to his father’s desk and pulled open drawers one at a time, rummaging through the contents.

“He’s not very neat about the way he keeps his office,” Eden said.

“Why do you think he needs Glory? I wasn’t kidding when I said he’d never fire her. He’d drown in this sea of papers,” Anson said. “Take that stack of papers over there and I’ll look through this stuff.”

“What exactly are we looking for?” Eden asked.

“Anything that shows the Kirkpatricks and the Graystones together,” Duff said. “Or anything that looks suspicious.”

Eden started looking through a stack of papers that sat on his father’s bookshelf. When she finished and announced that she found nothing, Eden turned her attention to the pictures that littered the shelves. “Is this your mother?” she asked. Duff picked up the picture of their mom. It was from when she first met their father. She was so young and healthy, it almost hurt Anson’s heart to see her that way. Unfortunately, it wasn’t how he remembered her.

“Yes,” Duff said.

“She was beautiful,” Eden whispered. “You both have her eyes.”

“She was a beauty,” Anson said. “I miss her.
