Chapter Six

At breakfast, Gretchen was no longer hostile. She didn’t seem exactly happy, but Sara got the feeling it wasn’t directed at her but Derek this time.

“Any word from the police?”

Derek’s fork stilled. “Nothing new.”

She continued to eat and watched as Gretchen finished cleaning up the dishes and left.

“Where does she go?”

“Who?”

“Gretchen?”

“Errands.”

Sara nodded and walked toward the living room. “She doesn’t like one of us.”

He sighed. “She’s not happy with some of the decisions I’m making right now.”

She waited for more information, but he clearly wasn’t going to give it to her.

“I have some work to do in my office. Let me know if you need me.”

Derek went down the stairs leaving Sara to watch television. She did for several hours but grew bored. She walked down the stairs to explore and heard his voice. She moved closer but slowed at the angry tone. She edged closer, wondering who he was speaking with. Was it Gretchen?

“The situation could be better, but I have it under control.”

He paused. “It has nothing to do with Victoria.”

He sighed. “Yeah, I moved them this morning while she was in the shower. The headache is better.”

“It is. No doubt. “

“Thanks.” His voice was wry and his expression, tired. He straightened at whatever the other person said. “You stay away. I’m not ready yet. She’s not going anywhere.”

She flattened herself against the wall. So he was talking about her. She glanced around.

What had he moved, and where else would she go? Did he know who she was?

She quietly moved back upstairs to the bedroom. She glanced around at the space. Was there something here that would tell her who she was? He had clearly been talking about her, so what did he move? Victoria. The woman in the photos? She walked toward the closet.

“Let’s get outside for a while so you can sleep tonight.”

She jumped at Derek’s voice from the doorway. She composed her expression and turned. “What?”

“I just think a little fresh air will help you rest better.”

He led her to a mud room by the back door and pulled a thick jacket with a fluffy collar from the hook for her. She hesitated for a moment. “Is this Gretchen’s?”

“No.”

“Whose then?”

He tapped her nose lightly with the tip of his finger. “Aren’t you the curious one?”

She froze. “I don’t actually know.”

He slid his hand down her cheek before opening the back door. His touch was warm and welcome and from the look on his face, she was sure he knew that. They stepped into the bright sunshine, and Sara inhaled deeply. “Where are we going?”

“I thought we’d take a ride.”

She tilted her head, considering. “Horses?”

He laughed. “No horses. “

“You don’t like horses or they don’t like you?” She knew that people who didn’t have rapport with animals couldn’t be trusted.

“Neither. I just don’t have the time to properly care for horses.” He continued toward a large building in the backyard. The fields rolled into new hills for as far as the eye could see. The only thing breaking up the fields were a few tree lines in the distance and a pond off to one side.
