Fiona felt sick to her stomach. If the sheriff had told Sam the woman’s name was Fiona, he’d guess it was her, since Fiona wasn’t exactly a common name. When they'd arrived home, Sam led her to his mother, who fussed over her like a mother hen.

“Come on, Fiona. I’m putting you to bed.” She practically dragged her to the bed, tucked her in, got her a glass of cool water, and then touched her forehead. “You aren’t running a fever, thank the Lord.”

“I’ll be all right. I think it was just the bumpy ride on the buckboard,” Fiona said. “I’ll just lie here for a while and then I’ll come down and help you with supper.”

When Addie had left to go back downstairs, Fiona slipped off the bed, onto her knees, and prayed. She laid her head on the bed as she prayed and didn’t hear the soft knock at her door. Fiona didn’t realize anyone had entered her room until she heard Martin’s voice. “What’s wrong, Fiona?” he asked sympathetically.

Tears fell from Fiona’s eyes. “The sheriff is looking for a woman who murdered someone back east. I’m scared, Martin.”

“I heard that rumor, too, so I stopped at the sheriff’s office the other day and he showed me the wire. The woman they're looking for is in her forties, and her name is Gertrude someone or other.”

Fiona’s head sprang up. “Really?” She wiped her tears and said, “Thank you, Lord.”

Martin sat down on the bed. “You really need to tell Sam about this. I think you both should go back to Boston and straighten this out. You can’t live like this. It’s making you ill.”

Still on her knees at Martin’s feet, Fiona nodded. “I want to, but I’m so afraid.”

Martin stood and helped Fiona to her feet. He hugged her lightly and patted her back. “You need to do something, dear sister. You can’t continue like this.”

“Excuse me?” Sam said, barging into the room. “What’s going on?”
