Chapter Eight

As TD helped make more pies for dinner, he was anxious to track down the Whitehorse Sewing Circle. He could only assume the reason he’d been given that second clue was because he’d been one of the babies the circle had adopted out.

So why hadn’t he received a quilt if every baby got one, he wondered? Or had his “parents” gotten rid of it so they never had to explain where it came from?

He knew he was mulling all this because it beat thinking about his run-in this morning with Lizzy Calder—and that kiss. How had he expected her to react?

Maybe a little more friendly.

Come on, Waters, she isn’t like the other women you’ve run across.

No, she wasn’t, was she? That’s what made her so interesting, and probably why he was going through hell trying to keep her out of his thoughts.

What worried him was the feeling that she knew a lot more about all this than she was letting on. That, coupled with the fact that he was certain she’d recognized him the first time they’d seen each other, had him concerned. Was it just a coincidence that they both ended up here at the same time?

He realized he knew nothing about her. Where was she from? What did she do for a living? Was she from Montana?

After he got the pies in the oven, he wandered down past the living room. He’d seen a computer in a small room near the parlor. The house was deathly silent. He noticed that one of the ranch pickups was gone and wondered who’d left.

Seeing no one around, he slipped into the small room and closed the door quietly behind him. It didn’t take long to call up a private information site that required him to use his password. He knew it would alert Roger Collins, but he had no doubt that Collins already knew where he was—that Collins knew a whole lot more than he did.

TD typed in the name Lizzy Calder. Nothing.

He realized his mistake and typed in Elizabeth Calder. Again nothing.

That couldn’t be right. He went to a general site and typed in the name. A dozen Elizabeth Calders came up. He began clicking on each. Most were the wrong age. Only one fit. He found a high-school photo. Bingo.

She’d gone to a fancy boarding school. That surprised him.

College, another expensive and prestigious school. She’d earned her degree in business management. Seriously? And now she worked as a consultant?

So why was he having such a hard time believing that? Maybe because his own background read something as bogus along the same lines? Or because it didn’t quite fit the woman he’d first seen riding that chestnut mare as if the devil himself were chasing her?
