“What?” she nearly shouted. She glanced around the yard again. “That’s weird. Who is doing this?” She put one hand on Michael’s arm. “I wonder if it has anything to do with what’s going on at June’s estate.” She lowered her voice. “I met her stepson yesterday and he seems to consider himself some suave Casanova.”

“Oh really? Do you think he’s the one who’s been calling you?”

She grimaced. “Probably not—like I said, I just met him yesterday—only…”

“Only what?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he’s been lurking around watching June and me without us knowing it. It just creeps me out. I’d rather someone approach me with their come-on routine than do it anonymously.”

“Come-on routine?” Michael said, chuckling.

Savannah thought for a moment, then said, “Michael, I have an idea. How would you like to move in over at June’s estate for a day or two until we figure out what’s going on here? We can come back and forth and feed the animals. Or maybe my aunt will do it.”

Michael let out a sigh. “Probably a good idea. Is it okay with June?”

“I’ll check with her.”

“Okay, gotta go.” He kissed her, then Lily, saying, “Lock the door. Check the other doors, too. I’ll take care of the flowers. See you at June’s later, unless I hear something different from you, okay?”

As Savannah stepped back into the house, her phone chimed. “Excuse me, sweetie,” she said to the baby, pulling her cell out of her pocket. “Hi Craig.”

“Hi. What do you know about the niece and the stepson?”

“Huh? Oh you mean June’s? Not much, except they seem to be gold diggers.”

“Are you going to June’s today?”

“Yeah. In fact, if it’s okay with her, I think we’ll stay over tonight.”

“Why?” he asked. “Isn’t she wearing you out enough without living there twenty-four-seven?”

Savannah chuckled. “Yeah, it’s an exhausting lifestyle she leads, that’s for sure. But no, I’m kind of hiding out.”

“You’re hiding out? Why? Who from?”

“Well, someone’s expressing a little too much interest in me, and Michael and I decided it might be a good idea to join the others at the estate until he gives up on me.”

“Someone’s after you? What’s the deal?” Craig asked, obviously concerned.

“Yeah, I guess so, but not for my money,” she said laughing.

“Oh.”

“Oh, what?”

“Well, I’m guessing this someone is…shall we say…attracted to you.”

She grimaced. “Craig, he left a bunch of flowers all over the front yard this morning.”

“Does he know you’re married?”

“Yes.” She giggled. “He says Michael’s a weasel.”

Craig chuckled, then asked more soberly, “Are you afraid of him?”

“I haven’t decided what to feel. I sure don’t like having someone invading my privacy and sneaking around my home, I can tell you that!”

“Well, good.”

“Good?”

“Yes, good that you’re going to stay at June’s for a few days.” He was quiet for a moment, then asked, “Didn’t I see that the photography show is tonight? You’re involved in that, aren’t you? Iris said you won a prize.”

“Yes. Second place,” she said, proudly.
