Chapter 10

It had been seven days since Greta’s Jeep had been destroyed, seven long days of looking over her shoulder and jumping at shadows.

Greta definitely had a feeling that Alice was near. She knew her twin was watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Greta didn’t know if what she felt was just normal fear of a known threat or some kind of inexplicable twin connection that let her feel her twin’s presence nearby.

Greta now stood in the center of the small corral. It was late afternoon and Sugar stood as close as she ever had to Greta, who held the tantalizing carrots in her hand.

Still, as pleased as she was about the daily progress she’d made with Sugar, she couldn’t help but think about Alice and an ever-present danger she had yet to face. The worst part was that she knew deep in her heart that sooner or later she would face that danger.

Tyler had now not only experienced a Colton family movie night but also met the last of her brothers when Eric and his wife, Kara, had stopped by one evening.

Kara had recently opened her own restaurant after being a personal chef for years, and the new establishment appeared to be a rousing success. Tyler had charmed them as easily as he had the rest of the family.

During the past week her relationship with Tyler had only deepened. When she wasn’t working in the corral, they spent their time together playing cards or pool and talking.

They’d shared pieces of their pasts, thoughts about their futures and fears about the present. He touched her whenever possible, pushing a strand of hair away from her face, grabbing her hand when they walked and sneaking unexpected kisses that kept her off balance and in a constant state of simmering anticipation.

She was falling in love with him and she couldn’t do a thing about it. She had no idea exactly how he felt about her, didn’t know if she was headed for heartache at the hands of another Stanton, but she couldn’t help the depth of her growing love for him.

She shoved thoughts of him aside as Sugar took yet another step closer to her. Greta studied the horse’s body language and was pleased to see no tension, no fear at the moment in the magnificent animal.

“Sweet Sugar,” she murmured softly. The horse eyed her with her big brown eyes, hesitant yet still not appearing afraid. It was now just a matter of the horse allowing her natural curiosity to overcome the hesitation.

Greta held her breath, her heart beating just a little faster as Sugar took another step and leaned her head forward, her nostrils flaring as she sniffed the air.

“Come on, sweet baby. Take the carrots,” Greta urged and fought her own impulse to move toward Sugar. It was important that she not make a move that Sugar might find aggressive. That would undo all of the progress Greta had made. Sugar had to come to Greta on Sugar’s own terms.
