It was after midnight before a mug of hot cocoa did its job and made Laney drowsy. In a faded flannel nightgown that had belonged to her mother, she padded back upstairs to return to the rumpled bed she'd left in frustration nearly an hour ago.

She paused before the bedroom window that overlooked Jeb's house. Between the curtains she never closed, she saw light pouring from his ground floor windows and smiled with sleepy satisfaction. He'd be up for another three or four hours, but the light filtering into Laney's bedroom wouldn't disturb her at all. That friendly illumination meant Jeb was home at last, and safe.

At least for now.

She fluffed her pillow and crawled back under her quilt.

For once, it wasn't worry about her financial situation keeping her awake. She simply couldn't stop thinking about Jeb.

She'd had a wonderful time at the bowling alley. Jeb had refrained from interviewing eligible men on her behalf, and yet he hadn't reverted to his usual reticence, but had actually seemed to enjoy himself with the other singles.

They had already parted for the night when Laney realized she'd forgotten to ask why that Bible verse had captured his attention earlier. But there was always tomorrow.

Settling more comfortably on her pillow and pulling the quilt up to her chin, she smiled sleepily at the faint, shifting shadows on the wall beyond the foot of her bed.

Shifting shadows? Laney sat up.

There was no tree between her house and Jeb's. No branches to be stirred by the wind and interrupt the light from his windows and create dancing shadows on her wall. Puzzled, Laney got out of bed and crossed the room to her other window, the one overlooking Mulberry Street.

Peering out into what should have been tranquil darkness, she was momentarily frozen by horror.

Mrs. Lindstrom's house was on fire.
