The following morning, two minibuses full of guests arrived at the ranch. Most of the Holloways were from Maryland, joined by a few family members from New York and New England.

“Ted Holloway,” said the first man off the bus, vigorously shaking Alec’s hand. “Pleased to meet ya.”

The introductions went on for several minutes as Ted’s extended family stepped down off the buses. “A fellow Chowdahead!” said a woman named Theresa, giving Rebecca a friendly hug when she discovered she was from South Boston. “I’m from Woburn. We’re practically next-door neighbors!”

The entire staff pitched in to show the Holloways to their respective cabins. They were a cheerful bunch, and Rebecca found herself eagerly anticipating the week ahead. As much as she loved the laid-back nature of the folks in Wyoming, she had to admit that part of her missed the energetic buzz of everyone back east.

After a banquet-style lunch in the lodge, Rebecca and Tommy led the first group out for the canyon trail ride. From the front, she shared interesting facts she’d learned over the summer–that the black stripe on the face of Mount Moran was once molten lava, that the graceful pronghorn antelope could run seventy miles an hour, that a male grizzly bear could tip the scale at nine-hundred pounds. She led them back to the corral two hours later, where Roger and Allison geared up to take the second half of the family for the river trail ride.

She and Tommy were putting their horses away when Alec appeared in the aisle. “Rebecca, could I see you for a minute?”

She could tell from his tone that something was wrong. “What is it?” she asked as she entered the office and closed the door behind her.

Her stomach lurched when he handed her an envelope. “I was hoping it had stopped.”

Over a week had passed since the last one, and she’d almost managed to forget about it. Now it came crashing back to the forefront of her mind as she sank into the closest chair.

“I was, too,” she whispered as she forced herself to open it.

I love watching you.

Panic seized Rebecca as she clutched the armrest of the chair. Wordlessly Alec knelt beside her, giving a sharp gasp himself. She turned the envelope over and felt her blood run cold when she saw the perfectly clear, legible postmark.

The letter had been mailed yesterday from Jackson, Wyoming.

“He’s here,” she choked. “He’s back.”

“I wonder, Rebecca, if you shouldn’t just get out of here.”

“And go where?”

“Back to Jeff’s. Or even back to Boston. Somewhere safe, where Kevin wouldn’t know where to find you.”

“That’s absurd. I’m not going to let him scare me away from here.”

Alec gave her a pointed look. “I don’t want you to be alone for one second, not even in your cabin. If Alli is out, go to the lodge or over to Tommy’s, or come up to the farmhouse and stay with us. Will you do that for me?”

“I will. I promise.”

He rose to his feet. “I’m going to get Tommy, okay? Wait here.
