Chapter 8

“Who’s Allison Curry?” Eden checked the name on the black mailbox at the end of the sidewalk as Cameron turned onto a paved driveway in front of a tidy Craftsman bungalow.

“My stepsister.” Cameron pulled to a stop and opened the driver side door. “Be right back.”

She watched as he went to the garage door and unlocked it before raising it manually. It was the first time he’d mentioned anything about his personal life, other than an offhanded comment about having lived in Texas most of his life.

A week ago, she would’ve thought him too cold and soulless to have a family. Now, she wasn’t so sure… of him, of her feelings, or anything else, for that matter.

He climbed back into the SUV and slowly guided it into the garage, pulling them to a stop. Eden could make out a bicycle, some gardening tools, and a few boxes marked “Xmas -- Misc” among the neatly organized contents of the small enclosure.

“Is she expecting us?” Eden twisted around in her seat, looking for a door leading inside. “I didn’t see you call anyone.”

“She’s not home.” Cameron shut down the engine and took the keys from the ignition. “Won’t be back for a week.” He opened his car door again. “Stay here while I lock the garage door and check out the house.”

She waited until he returned and had given her the all clear signal before she climbed down from the vehicle.

“Don’t walk around the front unless you want to see Chupacabra guts plastered all over the grill.” He opened the rear door of the Tahoe and removed their bags.

He led her to a small flight of steps that ended with a door, which he opened with a key dangling from his own keychain. He and stepsis must be close, she mused, or he wouldn’t have carte blanche to come and go from her house as he pleased.

Cameron Zane, super chummy with his family. Who’d have thought?

The door opened, revealing a cheerful yellow kitchen. Eden wandered in, touching the Formica countertops and retro dinette set, running her fingertips over the banded leather and chrome chairs. A vintage soda machine occupied one corner, and Bakelite cookware gleamed glossy jade green behind the windowed cupboard doors.

“She has good taste.” Eden wandered to the window where a trio of African violets rested on the sill, their leaves edged with brown and their blossoms wilted.

“She’s kind of… New Age, I guess.” Cameron disappeared through the kitchen door with their bags and came back empty handed.

“Not good with plants, though.” She held her right hand over one of the violets and gathered her energy, forcing it out through her palm. The little plant responded instantly, turning lush and green as if it had just been transported from some mythical paradise.

“How did you do that?” Cameron’s voice held a note of awe.

She shrugged. “I control the element of earth, remember?” She moved her hand to the other two plants, restoring them to optimum health within seconds.

He leaned against the soda machine, arms folded over his chest.
