Holly pressed against the worn surface of the table with a scrub brush. The paint disappeared under the cleanser and her determination.

Robby was right. Must have been a water-based paint. If it had been oil, it would have been a mess to clean up. Anyway, the hard work was a good way to rid herself of some of the angry energy.

She’d spent the past few hours cleaning up the cabin. The table was the last thing to take care of. She couldn’t believe Mark was behind this mess. He’d pulled a few publicity stunts over the years, but this was too much.

If Robby was right, she would have to fire him.

The thought of life without Mark hurt. He’d been her manager from the start. He’d believed in her talent when no one else had.

If Robby was right.

She still found it hard to believe.

Scenes from the past month flashed in her mind. Mark pretending to be worried, acting as if he’d spoken to the police, perplexed as to why they couldn’t catch the guy. And he sent her a dead cat—killed it in the name of publicity. That was the worst.

That poor cat, sacrificed to put her in the news. But it didn’t sound like the Mark she’d known for almost a decade.

Her hand slowed. Mark hadn’t initially told the media. Unless he’d planned to tell them all about it later.

She sighed. Who knew what Mark was thinking?

A car pulled into her drive.

Probably Robby checking up on her.

He wasn’t happy with her decision to come back to the cabin, but respected her enough not to argue the point.

Since there was no stalker, there was no reason not to go back to the cabin and clean up the mess. And get on with her life.

He had dropped her off with the promise to come back later.

After learning about Mark’s betrayal, she’d forgotten to ask Robby why he’d lied about knowing she was Destiny. But she would find out now. However, she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Since he had figured out there was no stalker, and she could get back to her life.

Not that she was in a hurry to leave Serenity.

Reuniting with him was good. She had no idea where their relationship would go, but she was definitely looking forward to finding out.

She opened the cabin door to a world of white. The weatherman predicted five to six more inches of snow. The flurries had stopped, but the wind still whistled through the surrounding trees.

A blue SUV was in the drive. Not Robby’s cruiser. Was it a reporter? Robby had assured her the reporters in town didn’t know the location of the cabin. But some reporters could be relentless.

Unless someone had shared that information about her being stalked in Nashville. The media would have been all over the story and her. Why wouldn’t he have taken advantage of the opportunity?

She still couldn’t believe Mark could do that, since he was always protective of her privacy. Doubt surfaced as Holly remembered that fact.
