Colin left the women at the house. Daylight was less than an hour away and Ivy would need to rest. They all would, including him. Still, he couldn’t ignore what was building inside and had been since they landed here. Time to buck up and face his past.

His new life was great in so many ways. Some things didn’t change, like the fact that he was still hunting evil. But now he fought against dark forces with the one he loved at his side. That she was the very thing he’d dedicated his life to wiping out was an irony not lost on him—he just didn’t care. All that mattered was that Ivy was with him each day and each night.

What he was going to do now had to be done alone, even as close as he was to Ivy. She’d argue and want to go with him, which was part of the reason he was going during the day when she was at rest. Less explaining to do.

A great many years had passed him by and yet he’d never gone. Now it was more than just wanting to make the walk; he needed to cross the acres of grass and confront what had changed everything. Being back here where it all started brought up emotions he’d thought long resolved or, if not resolved, at least permanently put to rest. Funny how often he was wrong these days about lots of things.

Bright sunlight washed over Rock Creek Cemetery when he stepped out of his car. A light breeze whispered through the trees, and the smell of freshly mowed grass gave a feeling of life to this place of death.

The headstones he sought were on the other side of the cemetery. He could have driven much closer. Instead, he made a conscious choice to park as far away as possible and still be on the cemetery grounds. He needed the time it took to cross the cemetery to gather his strength. Or maybe it was courage he needed to marshal.

The closer he came to the headstones, the slower his steps became. Nothing intentional about it, more a byproduct of having put this off for too long. Really, it shouldn’t be a big deal, yet the nearer he came, the more he hesitated. It was as if a weight pressed down on his chest making it hard to breathe, hard to think straight. He’d had a long time to reconcile with this and would like to believe by now this would be easy.

He was a seasoned vampire hunter who traveled all over the world putting down every manner of evil. He’d seen the worst there was to see and faced it all with courage. Three headstones surrounded by lush green grass, towering trees, and flowering bushes shouldn’t make his hands shake and his stomach roll.

A good five feet away from the trio of gray stones, he stopped, shoved his hands into his pockets, and closed his eyes. Tears pricked at his eyelids and it took quite a few deep breaths to back them away.
