Chapter Ten

The next morning I woke up later than usual. I had a rough night, tossing and turning frequently with my overactive mind. I got up and showered, walking slowly down the stairs in search of Tylenol and breakfast. To my surprise, Kellen was already there, sharing a cup of coffee with Gramps. Gran was cooking and looked up when I entered.

“Good morning sweetie. Hungry?” She asked brightly.

I smiled. “Yes, of course, thank you Gran.”

I grabbed a glass of orange juice and sat down with the bottle of Tylenol. I took two with a slug of the orange juice and winced as the headache throbbed along my temple. I glanced around and noticed both Gramps and Kellen staring at me.

“You ok Hun?” Gramps’ forehead wrinkled even more.

“I’ll be fine as soon as the drugs kick in.”

Kellen was still looking at me thoughtfully. He raised his eyebrow in concern and unspoken communication. I knew he was asking if I still wanted to go. I nodded at him and his face relaxed. He turned to Gramps and resumed their conversation.

Gran cooked an enormous brunch with eggs, sausage, hash browns, toast, muffins, and mixed fruit. I noticed with humor that nothing went to waste with Kellen here. When were done eating, he excused himself to check out the cemetery and to do a quick assessment of the perimeter. My safety always came first.

It was cooler today and rainy, typical spring weather. Warm and sunny one minute, cool and rainy the next. I changed into a long sleeve top and my spring raincoat. My jeans should be warm enough along with my rain boots. I brushed my teeth and added some lip gloss, happy that my headache was finally disappearing.

Kellen and I left an hour later in his Hummer. The cemetery wasn’t far but it was too wet to walk. We parked outside of the main gates as Kellen turned off the ignition. I looked at him questioningly. Why didn’t we just park in the lot? Now we had to walk in the rain, sloshing through mud.

“Rhia, I’m not sure what we will find in here. I’m sorry to make you walk further in the rain but if we need a quick escape this is going to be much faster than trying to get out of a crowded lot.”

He was right. Funny, I wouldn’t have thought a cemetery would be busy, especially in the rain. But there were many cars in the lot and you could see people walking with umbrellas. Maybe a Monday holiday was a good day to visit. The place was pretty crowded.

Kellen opened my door and handed me an umbrella. He had his hood up over his head, looking dashing in the clouded light. It was misty and cool, the breeze blowing the air around in steady swirls. I felt like I was walking in the middle of a very wet cloud. Blah. I hated getting wet.

I looked at the main gates. They were large and wrought iron, forming a wide arch, with the name West Haven Cemetery in faded golden letters.
