Chapter Eleven

Kat and Mark had moved into the bar and were having a few more drinks together, when a woman and a man who both seemed strangely familiar sat down beside her and Mark.

“Kat? Is that you?”

Kat stared quizzically at the attractive woman who had long brown hair and deep blue eyes.

And then Kat blinked. “Ashley?” She looked over at the man sitting beside Ashley. “Brian?”

Both Ashley and Brian began to laugh.

“Wow. I never expected to see you again,” Brian said.

Kat looked back and forth from Ashley to Brian, and when she noticed the ring on Ashley’s finger, she grinned. “You’re together?”

“Sure are,” Brian answered smugly.

“It’s really good to see you, Kat,” said Ashley.

Looking hard at Ashley, Kat suddenly realized this wasn’t the Ashley she’d known as a teenager. Sure, she was self-assured and confident, but in an entirely different way. Her words actually sounded sincere.

“Wow. I think I even believe you. I’d sure like to know what’s been going on over the last fifteen years,” Kat muttered.

Ashley grinned and Brian began laughing hard.

“That’s a long story,” Brian answered, when he finally quit laughing. “I don’t think you’ve changed at all. Ashley and I have only been married for a few years.”

Ashley continued. “And we have a beautiful new son.” Reaching for her purse, she brought out some pictures from inside and passed them around.

“This is my friend Mark,” Kat said, turning to Mark after they’d finished looking at the pictures. “Mark, I met Ashley and Brian fifteen years ago, when I was here on vacation with my parents.”

The conversation continued with a lot of laughter, and Kat finally felt comfortable leaving Mark on his own. Mark was in an intense conversation with them about the advertising business. Coincidentally, Brian owned his own local advertising firm and had been one of the coordinators of the auction today. Ashley worked with Brian and she was responsible for finding sponsors for events as well as setting up publicity.

Kat felt like a chapter of her life was ending when she left the bar to seek out Jason. It was time to be brave and figure out where she stood with him.

But when Kat returned to the ballroom, Jason was nowhere in sight.

Baffled, she began looking for Luke and Kelly and realized they must’ve decided to leave. Kelly had mentioned earlier that she and Luke needed to make a trip into town to retrieve what they’d ordered for Christmas Eve before the winter weather arrived.

Stopping in her steps, she suddenly moaned out loud. “Oh, no.” Hadn’t Jason told her he’d be catching a ride home with them?

She was making her way through the crowd for about the twentieth time when she finally saw a familiar face. What was the name of the police chief? Sam Danielson, she finally remembered.

“Sam?” she asked, walking up to him. He must’ve been ready to leave the party, because he was carrying a couple of coats.

“Hello,” Sam answered, looking slightly puzzled. “That’s right. It’s Kat, isn’t it?”

“I’m surprised you remembered,” she answered, smiling.
