Shane enjoyed watching Charlie’s chubby fingers trying to gently retrieve the coffee stirrers. He was so intent on his task, he didn’t notice anything around him. Lonnie had been like that, able to zone in so completely on digging a hole or building with blocks that the world around him disappeared. The pain seared through Shane again.

Charlie isn’t Lonnie, he told himself. He’s not going to get hurt because of you.

Shane looked up to see Kelly pocketing her phone, a grave look on her face as she joined them. “Uncle Bill traced the number back to a pay phone in Ash Ridge.”

Shane whistled. “Practically in the neighborhood.”

Kelly nodded and sat heavily. “The police are keeping an eye out for her, but not officially.” He could sense her mind reeling, sorting through the possibilities. “He doesn’t think I should go look for her.”

Shane sighed. “He’s probably right. If…” He shot a glance at Charlie. “If Stormy is in some kind of trouble, you won’t make things better by jumping in the middle of it.”

Kelly’s eyes narrowed. “You sound just like my uncle.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

She drank a sip of coffee and then beamed those dark eyes straight at him. “But what would you do?”

“What do you mean?” he asked, though he knew exactly what she meant.

“If it was your brother. What would you do?”

Shane glanced around the crowded lodge, filled with disappointed racers discussing the weather. “Oh, I think you know what I’d do.”

She smiled. “I think you’re right.”
