Chapter Eighteen

Cassie ran toward the house, but stopped before she entered and looked up at the pass where smoke still billowed from the other side of her mountain. More sorrow washed over her as she imagined Abuela’s belongings that she had left behind in the rustic cabin and studio. Both gone forever.

Her cell phone vibrated, and she pulled it out of her pocket. Kitty. Could she carry on a conversation right now without breaking down into tears? But if she did not answer, she would only worry her friend who had enough on her mind right now.

She touched the screen. “Hello. How are you and the babies, Kitty?” She tried to make her voice sound more cheerful than she felt, but must have failed miserably.

“Cassie, are you okay? I saw on the news that the fire was near your cabin. Where are you now?”

In the chaos yesterday, she had completely forgotten to let Kitty know she was okay. With so many major wildfires burning, she doubted her mountain’s blaze would make Denver news channels.

Cassie drew another breath and walked inside the house and toward the bedroom. She did not want to have to face Lucas again when he came in after her meltdown at the corral. And he would be coming in soon to fix supper.

“I am fine. Staying at Lucas’s.”

“Luke Denton’s?”

She smiled as she pictured Kitty’s incredulous face. “Yes, one and the same. He rescued me.”

“Cassie! What happened?”

Cassie recounted the story for her friend, but the weariness that had begun to set into her body out in the corral became even more pronounced as the magnitude of what Lucas had done hit her. Her hand shook, and she kicked off her shoes and burrowed under the covers.

“Cassie? Are you there?”

“Y-y-yes. I am in bed.”

“At this hour? Are you okay?”

“It has been a long couple of days. Listen, Kitty, I am fine. Really. Let me call you tomorrow to talk more, but trust me. Everything is okay here.”

“Did…Did the alpacas make it out?”

“Oh, yes! We are all down here with Lucas. Luke.” Funny, but calling him Lucas after all they had been through seemed rather stilted. Yet she had grown used to calling him that. Using his nickname now might cause him to misinterpret her reasons.

“I love you, Cassie. And you can trust Luke. He’s a good man.”

Her chin shook, and her throat closed. “I know,” she whispered. Why did that scare her even more?

Because he posed a threat of a different kind. She had spent most of her adult life keeping men away from her, wanting to have nothing to do with them. The memory of Lucas’s arms around her caused her to shaking even more. Before she completely lost it, she said goodnight to Kitty and set the phone aside.

Goddess, she had not even found out how the babies were, but surely Kitty would have told her if there had been any problems.

Cassie curled onto her side, pulling the covers up to her chin and her knees up to her chest.
