Chapter Seventeen

Elise stirred the corn chowder on the stove, humming to herself as she did. She didn’t care that it was mid-July and not really soup season. She loved soup year-round, and besides, it got plenty cool up here in the shady mountains where she and Gray lived in the summertime.

She sometimes wished she still lived in Coral Canyon full-time, but she knew exactly why they didn’t. She loved Hunter with her whole heart, and she wanted him to have friends and be happy. He was such a good boy, and he’d made excellent progress in his therapy over the past several months.

He inspired her to be a better person, and when Jane tested her patience with her stubbornness about taking a nap, Hunter would step in and rock his baby half-sister to sleep just to help out.

Today, Gray had taken his son fishing, as they did several times a week in the summer. Her husband and her son loved fishing with their whole hearts, and she loved cooking for the two of them, so they could have lunch together when they returned from the lake.

Gray had bought a new boat this summer, and while Wes had gotten Hunter a new fishing pole for Christmas, Gray had had to buy his own. Elise had actually purchased it for him, after consulting with Wes, and she’d gifted it to him for Father’s Day.

No sound came through the baby monitor, and relief pulled through Elise. Jane fought her every step of the way when it came to sleeping, which meant Elise hadn’t slept well in almost nine months now. She loved her blonde baby girl beyond anything she’d ever loved before, though, and Elise would happily sacrifice sleep for her.

Hutch barked, and Elise turned as he trotted over to the sliding glass door that led onto the deck. Her silver goldendoodle loved to chase rabbits, squirrels, and birds, and there were plenty of those in these hills. They owned five acres here, and Elise moved over to the door. “Do you need to go out, bud?”

She glanced up as movement caught her eye too, and Hutch’s booming bark filled the house again. Elise froze as she saw someone walking along the trees at the edge of the yard.

Her heart started pounding in her chest, and she couldn’t tear her eyes from the figure there. It looked like a male, and Elise’s mind fired scenarios at her faster than she could latch onto.

Hutch’s barking continued, and it was that obnoxious sound that broke her from her trance. She quickly flipped the lock on the sliding glass door and said, “Hush, Hutch. Stop it.” She pushed the dog back, but he returned immediately to the glass, adding a whine to his chorus of barks.

Elise hurried into the kitchen and grabbed her phone from the countertop. She ducked around the corner and into the mudroom off the back of the garage. The washer and dryer took up the back part of the room, and a window sat above them.
