Twenty minutes later, Kate sat in the backseat of her parentsâ Subaru Outback, wishing she could have ridden with Tori, Mrs. Velasquez, and Colt. Instead she got stuck with Melissa, who sat in the front seat, while she and Pete ended up in the back. âWe should have tried to call Mrs. Maynard before we barged over here, Mom. Sheâs probably going to freak.â
Her mom opened the door and swung her legs out. âI couldnât find a phone number for her, and she invited us to come. I assume sheâd expect us to show up not long after she delivered the letter.â
Toriâs mom parked her car behind them, and everyone got out. Mom had parked partway down the driveway, and they could see the house not far ahead.
âWhat now?â Kate asked.
âWe go up and knock on the door like civilized people.â Her mom waited for Mrs. Velasquez to step up beside her. Then they headed to the house.
Kateâs stomach jolted like it contained a hive of angry bees. Would Mrs. Maynard be the woman who shouted at them and chased them off, or the one who had written the letter? She bumped Toriâs shoulder as they walked. âIs your mom still mad?â
Tori shrugged. âNot as much as she was earlier, but Iâll probably be grounded if Mrs. Maynard gets upset again.â
Colt and Melissa drew alongside, and Coltâs normal happy attitude seemed to be missing. âGuess we blew it, huh?â
Melissa glanced at him, then at Kate and Tori. âI still donât get why you guys wanted to come back after I told you the old lady was crazy.â
Kate stiffened. âDid she sound crazy in the letter Mom read? I think people have gossiped about her for so many years, theyâve forgotten sheâs a nice person.â
Melissa huffed. âShe didnât act nice the day we were here.â
Kate couldnât help it. She blurted out what she was thinking. âThen why did you agree to come today if you still think sheâs crazy? You heard my momâno one was going to make you.â
âI dunno. I guess itâs better than sitting around at home while my mom watches TV and drinks wine all day.â
Toriâs eyes widened. âShe does what? Seriously? I mean, hey, Iâm sorry.â
Melissa scuffed her feet on the gravel as she slowed her pace. âI shouldnât have said that. Forget it, okay?â
Colt nodded. âYep. We didnât hear a thing. Right, girls?â
Kate and Tori exchanged a glance, then both replied, âRight.â
Toriâs mom led the way through the gate in the picket fence, and Kateâs mom smiled at the color surrounding them. âThis is lovely. Mrs. Maynard has quite a green thumb. I wish I could create something like this at our house.â She stopped to lean over a rose and sniffed. âNice. So many roses donât have fragrance anymore.â
Some of the tension drained from Kate at her momâs peaceful expression. If only Mrs. Maynard wouldnât come out waving a gun.
