CHAPTER 14: SEDONA

At the slam of a car door, Eddie glanced up from his homework and peered out the kitchen window, in time to see two girls wave to a car as it retreated down the driveway. His heart skipped a beat when they turned. Though her face was half concealed by auburn hair that had been tossed by the wind, it was undoubtedly Sarah who strode toward the house. He tore his gaze away for a moment, to notice the slightly taller blond by her side. This must be Grace.

He was greeted by a cold rush of wind when he opened the massive oak front door. He had wondered if he would ever see Sarah again, and suddenly, there she stood on his front porch.

His heart raced, his palms grew sweaty, and he fruitlessly tried to push his feelings of attraction for her aside. He reminded himself that not only was she married, she was also pregnant. His efforts to disregard his feelings were momentarily hampered when she dropped her duffel bag on the porch and threw herself at him with a giant bear hug. He circled his arms around her, wrapped her in tight, and held her close for a few moments before he reluctantly released her.

“So,” he said with a smile, “you found me.”

She shook her head. “I should have listened to you. You were only gone for a couple of hours and they came for me. I’m positive it was them. I was so scared. I didn’t know where else to go.”

“Well, you’re here now.” He held eye contact as he looked into her brilliant aqua green eyes. They were even more beautiful than he remembered. She’s married, he reminded himself again.

He finally forced himself to break his gaze and with a smile, tried to appear equally happy to see the blonde who stood behind her. “You must be Grace.” She was beautiful in her own right; a few inches taller than Sarah, she had long, blond hair and sparkling, crystal blue eyes.

“Hi,” she stepped forward and extended a hand in greeting, “you must be Eddie.”

“I am. Please, come inside, out of the cold.”

The girls stepped into the entryway, and Eddie closed the door against the frigid elements. “Why don’t you follow me into the kitchen? Can I get you both something warm to drink? Hot chocolate? Apple cider?”

“Hot chocolate sounds great, thank you,” Sarah replied.

“That does sound good,” Grace said. “I’ll have one, too, if you don’t mind.”

“No problem,” Eddie replied. They followed him to the kitchen and sat at the table while he turned to the cupboards for mugs and hot cocoa.

The back door opened and closed, and in a moment, Tyler and Liliana rounded the corner.

Tyler beamed at the sight of the newcomers. “Sarah, you made it!”

She smiled in return and rose to give him a hug. “Yeah, I made it, all right. It’s nice to finally meet you. I met up with a friend along the way. I didn’t think you’d mind if I brought her along.
