Chapter 24

LYDIA FELT WEAK. SPENT. Overwhelmed and underqualified. Why hadn’t she known how bad things had been for her brother’s family? Ethan sympathized with his wife. He wrapped a strong arm around her waist and led her downstairs to the hotel lobby.

The pink and orange decor reminded Lydia of a donut shop. The thought caused her to long for home. Though Honey Pot was less than an hour from Ashton, it felt much farther to Lydia. She missed her church friends and neighbors. But more than anything, at the moment, she missed Hobo Joe and 3 Alarm Coffee.

She needed a deep think and a long conversation with her friends. 3 Alarm Coffee offered the opportunity for all of those things, plus someone else did the brewing and baking. Her mind was free to chase rabbits, wild geese, and Lord willingly uncover vital clues.

Lydia’s knees buckled. She hadn’t expected murder to hit so close to home. It never occurred to her that her own family might be capable of such a heinous act. She nearly tumbled to the thin lobby carpet. Ethan hooked his hands under her arms and led his bride to a nearby table for two.

“Oh, Ethan,” Lydia said. She felt helpless and stupefied. Ethan scooted his chair closer to hers and gently placed her head on his shoulder.

“I know,” he whispered. “It’s awful.”

“And it makes my boys look awfully guilty,” Lydia said.

Ethan squeezed Lydia closer to him. Her head rested on his clavicle. She could hear his heart thrumming, and the tenor of his voice trembled. “That’s what scares me the most.”
