CHAPTER 34

Glitter Lake Inn was not the kind of place Dr. Jean would have visited, at least not when she lived in the area as a small child. Back then, she didn’t have the money or the right skin color. She had been nervous about checking in, but her father assured her it was safe and that she would be welcomed. She assured herself that things were different now.

Theo greeted her in the entry hallway and asked if she wanted any refreshments—coffee, tea, or wine, perhaps with a fresh baked scone.

“No, but thank you. I’d just like to rest a bit,” Dr. Jean replied.

“I’ll show you to your room then.”

“I’m expecting a visitor. Is that permissible?”

Theo laughed. “Of course. Would you like for me to set something up for you in the library, overlooking the lake?”

Jean shook her head. “No, we’ll just meet in my room. Perhaps you could bring some coffee and a couple of those scones?”

“Of course.”

Jean heard the hinges on the inn’s massive oak door squeak. Theo turned and smiled at the woman who walked in. “Enid, how nice to see you,” he said.

Jean recognized the woman immediately from the articles she had read. Even though Jean lived hundreds of miles away, she subscribed to the Tri-County Gazette. Some of Enid’s article series were in larger newspapers also. Jean started to hide her face but then realized how foolish she was being. Enid Blackwell had no way of knowing who Jean was. Pushing caution aside, Jean met Enid’s gaze. “Hello, I’m a fan of your work, Ms. Blackwell.”

“Thank you.” Enid held out her hand to Jean. “Nice to meet you.”

“Likewise. My name is Jean.” Suddenly nervous, she turned to Theo. “I’m going to my room now.”

As Jean walked up the stairs, she heard Theo and Enid laughing together. Was coming here a mistake?
