HEART'S STRIFE (IN THE LOUP: BOOK #3)

Home was where they were in a few hours, and Stephanie was glad to see it as they crested the last little hill before the final dip. The mid-day view opened up to many numerous square clusters of homes grouped around an aspiring business sector. All sides were surrounded by the mountains save for the far corner. At that point a river fed by the wild creeks poured out of the valley and the main road out of town followed the watery path.

The small town nestled in the giant dip had been Stephanie's home her entire life. She'd grown up there, married there, and now worked there. That made her a small town girl with big ambitions about her business, but she didn't mind the driving to cities and back. It made the homecoming that much sweeter.

"Nice view, isn't it?" Chuck commented. He'd moved there about five years before, and the scenery still put him in awe.

"Yeah," she readily agreed. She solemnly nodded as they dipped down into the green valley. "I don't think any skyscraper could hold a candle to some of these trees."

"Well, skyscrapers definitely aren't as bushy," he joked as they entered the residential part of town.

They lived across town from one another, so he opted to let her off first and drive the car to the rental place. He steered the vehicle to a two story house with a large, immaculate front lawn. Stephanie's stay-at-home husband, Bob, managed all their home affairs pretty well. Chuck shut off the engine and stepped out with Stephanie as she retrieved her stuff from the trunk.

"Well, I'm not sure I can say it's been fun," Stephanie teased as they met at the front of the walk leading to the entrance. "But it's definitely been interesting."

"Yeah," he hesitantly agreed. He ruefully glanced at her. "You're still not going to go see a doctor, are you?"

"Nope," she stubbornly informed him. She glanced down at her arm. It didn't look too bad today. "Maybe it just needs some peroxide and a long afternoon nap."

"I think it's worse than that, but those things will help," he grudgingly agreed. He looked over to the quiet house. "Think Bob's got a great dinner planned for you two?"

"Maybe, but he usually just cooks me some food made out of leftovers," she laughed. She was especially amused when her partner grimaced. "It's not that bad, and at least he tries to cook."

"You sure he's not trying to poison you?" Chuck suggested. He'd been invited over to their house only once, and Bob had cooked for them. The food had been so bad he hadn't been able to stomach most of it.

"If he is, it's taking him a couple of years, and he's no worse than me," she pointed out. They'd been married almost lucky number seven. While they'd had their ups and downs with her traveling so much, it was a pretty happy marriage. "But I think I hear that nap calling me.
