C laire’s lips formed a smile after Mac left.

She was flattered and stunned that he worried she would not want to see him again after his confession.

Yes, he’d acted like an asshole, but he lost his son too.

She couldn’t imagine what that must have been like for him and his ex-wife when they found out their baby died.

She could tell he was ready to move on with his life and she was glad he wanted her to be a part of it. It brought tears to her eyes as she tried imagining how she would feel if she were in that situation. She hoped she never found out.

It was strange how he found Rose and now they were seeing each other.

A strange set of circumstances indeed and Claire hoped the ugly would blossom into something beautiful.

Claire walked outside and put the shovel and the pickax back in the shed for the night.

Mac hadn’t convinced her to stop searching for her brother, and she was suspicious that he knew more about her brother’s case than what he told her. She thought about reading her brother’s case directly from the police since it was public record, but she wasn’t ready.

Claire would start her new book before she settled down for the night. The next day she would meet with George for the first time. She was happy to finally meet the man who’d been her main contact ever since she found out she inherited Kinsey House.

Her “to-do” list was growing by the day. She wanted to go back to the attic and explore more pictures. She wanted to visit her parent’s graves for the first time in her life.

All these truths being revealed were overwhelming and frustrating.

Claire’s mood turned from exhilaration from Mac’s kiss to dark and brooding in an instant.

Whenever her moods turned like this, she wrote.

She lost herself in her fantasy worlds where the hero meets the strong and feisty heroine, and they fall in love while on an adventure together. Living happily ever after with a few kids added in the mix. The safe fantasy for people who wanted to escape the reality of their mundane lives for a short time.

After Mary died, Claire locked herself in her room for five days and wrote a whole manuscript that week after the funeral.

Her editor wasn’t happy with the dark tone but said it was the best writing she’d ever seen typed from Claire’s fingertips.

This time, Claire wasn’t writing for her fans. She would indulge in herself and write what she’d been experiencing since she moved back to Kinsey House.

Was it selfish? Maybe, but she needed to put this story on paper.

It would be semi-autobiographical. She would market it under a new pen name and try her hand at publishing on her own.

Claire walked upstairs and grabbed the butterfly brooch from the nightstand.

She fiddled with it in her hand hoping to see her brother again, but all was silent inside the home.

As her mood turned, she could feel the energy from the house as if it were whispering secrets to her from inside the walls.
