Shelley had avoided Chicory Falls by shopping in Crystal Lake twelve miles away these three weeks since the night in August when she’d made love to Emily. Having turned that evening over and over in her mind, chastising herself for forging ahead over Emily’s protests, she’d concluded that she’d mistaken fear for excitement.

Ted and Bill had moved into the upper story of the old mill while they looked for a home. When they bought a house, Bill said, they would store antiques in their present living quarters or use it to expand the store or, better yet, she could live there during the winter months. But then she would risk running into Emily.

The summer guests were gone, the resort deserted. She’d thought during the busy months that she’d look forward to a little free time, but that was before Emily left her life and Bill and Ted moved into town. Now she dreaded the coming winter.

The day was gorgeous with the sumac turning, the bergamot and blazing star and ironweed blooming in the ditches, the sky a bright blue. At the beginning of the summer the beauty around her had been enough, but not now.

She braked, spying a bunch of sandhill cranes in the field off to the left. Putting the Bronco in park, she studied through her binoculars their huge gray bodies, long necks, red-capped heads, and stork-like legs as they pecked at the ground.
