FOURTEEN

Harper

Dawn crept over the horizon later each morning as the autumn days marched toward winter.

At sunrise, Stone kissed me goodbye and left to go work on the farm.

I, once again grateful my job could be done day or night and from the comfort of my warm room, stayed in bed and tried to get another hour or two of sleep.

Of course, that didn’t work. Once I was awake, I was up for good.

Giving up on sleep, I trotted downstairs and grabbed a mug of coffee from the pot that Agnes must have brewed earlier.

I should have just enjoyed sipping the hot liquid before heading back upstairs and getting to work.

Since I rarely do what I know I should, I instead pulled out my cell phone and navigated to the forum. I figured I would just scroll through quick while I finished my coffee and then get to work.

That was the plan, anyway, until I saw that one of my posts soliciting questions had two new comments on it. Two questions had been posted.

Two suspicious questions.

I checked the time stamp on them. Both had been added yesterday afternoon. Within minutes of each other. Not long after the time I had left Bethany and Red at the coffee shop.

Clicking on the profiles of the two people who’d posted the questions, I saw both accounts had been created—no surprise—yesterday. The only activity on them was their likes of my posts and the new comments.

I read the two posted questions, although I didn’t need to. There was already enough evidence to reinforce my suspicions.

They seemed generic. Innocuous. Not the kind of thing internet trolls would post to mock me. Nope. I had a strong feeling I’d fallen victim to something else entirely. My own friends.

I was trying to decide if I was touched that they cared enough about me to create fake profiles just so I’d get some questions.

Or if I was insulted that I was obviously so pitiful my friends felt they had to do something to help me.

I hadn’t landed one way or another when Agnes walked into the kitchen from the front of the house.

Of course, she was dressed for the day, even at this early hour. Today’s ensemble made her look even more like Kathryn Hepburn than usual. The black wool tapered leg trousers made her look tough but classy at the same time. The chunky gray sweater was stylish but casual and comfortable.

I wiped a dribble of coffee off the front of my sweatshirt and said, “Good morning.”

“Good morning.” She waved a piece of paper in the air before slapping it down on the counter. “Another love note from the zoning department.”

“Mother fuc—” I cut myself off and planted my mug on the counter hard enough to splash the contents over the edge. “That’s it. I’m doing something about this.”

“It’s fine, Harper. I’ve taken on this town before.”

“I know, but you shouldn’t have to do it for me. For this.” I eyed the paper with hatred.

“I don’t mind—” Agnes shook her head.
