“I forgot how much you enjoy cooking,” I said as I stirred more sugar into the sweet tea pitcher. There was a desired amount needed to make it just right, and Gran had always told me to never judge that amount by sight but instead by taste. This batch wasn’t nearly sweet enough yet.

Nash glanced at me from over his shoulder and flashed me a crooked grin that spent warmth spiraling through me. He stood at the kitchen counter, preparing teriyaki chicken kebabs. “Some things never change.” He nodded to the pitcher of tea in front of me. “Like the way you still don’t measure the sugar you put in there.”

“I taught her that,” Gran insisted from where she sat at the tiny dining table, mixing up a batch of her famous potato salad. Nash and I had tried to get her to rest more, but she argued that she’d spent all day in bed and refused to go back. “It’s one of the tricks to good southern tea. You never measure the sugar. It’s all done by taste.”

A knock sounded at the front door, and I set my wooden spoon down to answer it. “Looks like everyone else is early,” I said. The others weren’t supposed to be back for the cookout with a side in hand for at least an hour. A grin twisted my lips as I tried to guess who would have swung by sooner. Before I could answer the door, my bear caught the scent of something off and shifted into high alert. My heart raced as I swung the door of the cabin open.

“Hello, Miss Mathers,” Damon Kincaid said with a smirk. He was dressed in an expensive suit, which had him looking out of place with the campground as his backdrop, and his hands were clasped together in front of him. “I told you I’d be in touch.”

“What are you doing here?” I asked, shocked by the sight of him. My bear worked her way to the surface, but I reined her in as best I could. She didn’t like the sight of him, knowing he was most likely up to no good.

“Sam? Who is it?” Nash asked from the kitchen.

I didn’t get to answer him because Damon stepped aside and one of the two buff giants flanking him stepped forward and covered my face with a chemical-soaked cloth. I tried to fight, to not inhale, but it wasn’t possible. The more I struggled, the tighter the snake’s grip on me became and the more my lungs burned for air. A commotion broke out as I was pulled from the cabin. Gran called for me, and the fight that broke out reached a new level of chaos. Instinctively, I knew it was Nash trying to reach me.

I pulled in a breath of air, not able to fight against the need for it any longer, and my limbs grew slack as darkness swallowed me whole.
