NINE

Carly instinctively started for Mia’s room and collided with Whit’s hard chest. Apparently they had the same instinct. Get to the baby.

“Hang on a second.” The soft blue glow of his cell phone lit his concerned face. He activated the flashlight app and pointed it toward the bathroom. “Stay close.”

She not only stayed close, she gripped the belt loop of his jeans.

Mia, they had to get to Mia.

“Could be a random power outage,” he said.

His suggestion didn’t relieve her panic.

They made it through the bathroom and into the nursery, where he aimed the beam of light at the crib. Mia slept contently, a pacifier in her mouth.

“Thank the Lord,” Carly whispered.

Another boom made Carly jerk. Whit put a firm arm around her shoulder.

“Whit—”

An alarm blared.

Carly grabbed the baby and wrapped her in a blanket. Whit led them to the door.

The hallway was filling with smoke.

A woman screamed as she ran past their door. It was Ingrid, Roger’s wife. Roger was right behind her.

“Is the house on fire?” Roger said to Whit.

“Have no idea. Let’s get downstairs.”

Roger, Whit, Carly and the baby went quickly down the hallway, the smoke getting thicker, making Carly cough. She had to get the baby out of there. Fast.

They made it downstairs to the front door and out onto the porch.

Another scream echoed from the house. This time it wasn’t Ingrid, who was trembling in her robe on the front lawn. Carly glanced at Whit. “The innkeepers?”

Whit handed her his truck keys. “You know what to do.” He disappeared back into the house.

He wanted her to leave the premises.

To leave Whit behind.

Carly gripped the baby tighter and prayed for Whit’s safety.
