Chapter Ten – Theo

“Since you two managed to circle around the question like a good politician, I’ll ask you straight. How is Fern coping with the knowledge you are in love with her and you can change into a bear?” Teagan asked as they walked among the rows and rows of hops.

Theo stopped, and let his fingers trail over the leaves. “Looks like a good crop.”

“Yes, the position is perfect. Took a while to make the frames, but Walt supervised. He knows a thing or two about just about everything.” Teagan stood, surveying the plants. “He’s been a godsend to Carter. Just like you are a godsend to Fern.”

“I hope she sees things that way.”

“Evading the question again.”

“Sorry. It’s complicated.” Theo looked up at the hops, and then turned his glance to Teagan. “Carter Eden is a big part of all of your lives.”

“He is.” Teagan turned to walk away from him.

“Is he a good man?”

Teagan swung back around, a hint of fire blazing in her eyes. “He’s made mistakes, if that is what you are asking, but then who hasn’t? But if you are asking whether I trust him, then yes.” She took a step back toward him. “He never hurt Fern. She was already damaged before…”

“Before what?” Theo pressed.

“Please, talk to Fern,” Teagan insisted, but out of loyalty to whom, Carter or Fern?

“She’ll tell me when she’s ready,” Theo declared, but the question was beginning to gnaw at his mind. “What do you need me to do around here?” Theo decided a change of subject was in order. He was looking forward to getting his hands dirty in some real hard labor, pity it was on Carter’s land.

“How much time do you have?” Teagan asked with a wry smile.

“Today, not so much. I have to go and see my dad; he is having some tests run. And Cathy is on her way, so I’ll need to speak to her. But from tomorrow, until Dad comes home, I don’t have a lot to do. I started my Everest article, wrote most of it actually, since I couldn’t sleep.”

“I wonder why?” Teagan asked.

“Can’t get Fern out of my head.” He grinned and crossed his eyes. “I think I’m going crazy.”

“Crazy in love, I like it.”

“I think I can recommend it,” Theo told Teagan, who immediately pulled a face.

“Not for me. I have a career to build before I settle down.”

“Mine will be on hold for the immediate future. I can pick up some work online, writing about places I’ve already explored. I don’t have any writing jobs lined up. But once Dad comes home, then I’m going to have to see how much care he needs.”

“If I know Walt, he’ll be back here as soon as he gets out of the place.” Her face softened as she thought of Walt. “It’s like a second home to him.”

“So he’s taken on Carter as his adopted son?” He hated the sound of jealousy in his voice.

“Theo, please. Carter was trying to help Walt.
