LISA GLANCED AT the phone on the kitchen wall for about the thousandth time, wondering if she should call Carole or Stevie. She had been working nonstop ever since arriving home from the stable. At the moment, she was sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by signs, lists, charts, receipts, reference books, and who knew what else. Her mother had just left for the store to buy some more supplies and pick up more information at Mrs. diAngelo’s house, which meant even more work when she returned.

Lisa sighed and tore her gaze away from the phone. Doing all this work was bad enough, but doing it all alone made it even more tedious. It was tempting to call her friends to help, but she just couldn’t do it. Not after what had happened that day. She suspected that Carole was probably still trying to sort out the mess in the tack room—and if she wasn’t, she was certainly too exhausted from all the extra work to want to start collating phone lists. As for Stevie … Lisa shuddered. Somehow she didn’t think Stevie was in any mood to deal with Mrs. Atwood right now. She was far too distracted by her suspicions about Phil. It might have been different if Lisa could have honestly reassured her. But she had to admit that things just didn’t look good where Phil and Tessa were concerned.

Speaking of Tessa … Lisa checked the clock on the microwave. It would have been nice if Tessa had come home to help. After all, adding a new event to the point-to-point had been her idea. Instead, she seemed to be planning to spend the whole day with Veronica—again. She hadn’t so much as called since the two of them had left with Miles.

Lisa sighed. There wasn’t much she could do about that, so she vowed to stop thinking about it. She didn’t have time, anyway—not if she wanted to finish all the tasks her mother had assigned her before she came home and handed out even more. Lisa grabbed the layout of the program in one hand and a dictionary in the other. “Back to proofreading,” she muttered to herself.
