Chapter Thirteen

Elise leaned forward, peered into the mirror, and scrutinized the eye shadow and blush she had just applied. She had almost forgotten about her date with Jack Morrison. If it hadn’t been for Twila Pedmo’s cryptic disclosure earlier that morning, she might have called it off. She found nothing fascinating about the man, yet she had the feeling if there were anyone who might know what was happening with the custody case of Todd Fisher, Jack Morrison was sitting in the pole position.

Elise remembered her high school years when her brothers had played sports. As an only doted-on child, Jack Morrison always had the best sports equipment, the best golf clubs, and a new sports car to take him to and from practices. After his high school graduation and five years of dabbling in liberal arts, he had obtained a degree in sociology only after his father decided he had no immediate goals toward self-sufficiency and put his foot down. Jack’s father owned a very successful family printing business and Jack inherited a great deal of capital when his parents passed away. It was also rumored he had a fondness for gambling and losing. Fritz had described him as a willful slacker.

Downstairs Elise heard the rattle of pots and pans as Fritz moved about in the kitchen. The tantalizing smell of garlic, basil, and tomato sauce drifted up the stairs and her stomach complained with a soft rumble. Her brother had invited Cindy to join them for a pasta dinner. The young nurse had enthusiastically agreed, returning home only long enough to relinquish the bike to a younger brother and find an older one needed the use of her car. Not surprisingly, Fritz offered to provide transportation to and from her house.

Musical cars. Elise had played the game several times during her high school years when Fritz was home from college. She dreaded the confusion his visits made to their social lives with their friends. Oh, how she hated driving her father’s beat-up old pick-up because Fritz had a date and needed the family car. Her thoughts turned to Lucas. He had been anything but overjoyed when he discovered her intentions for the evening. She was thankful for Fritz’s presence. It had helped to defuse any outbursts.

Twila Pedmo’s disclosure had caught them both by surprise. Elise knew of no other close relatives of Lucas Fisher unless there was a distant cousin waiting in the wings. She promised herself she’d talk to her father the first thing tomorrow and see if he could offer any suggestions.

With quick efficient motions, Elise straightened her red and white checked jacket, under which a slinky red tank top boldly set off her white, designer jeans. She hoped the outfit was dressy enough for a low-keyed restaurant and casual enough for a late night excursion to Two Horses. No matter what, she would not be deterred. Somehow, she would convince Jack to take her there. She wanted to see the illustrious Clarisse Fisher, if only from a distance.
