“I appreciate your cooperation.” The words had become rote for Ty over the past few days.

“No problem. I hope you get to the bottom of it soon. Tell Paisley I said hi.”

“I will.” Ty hung up on Dustin Phelps, a college baseball coach who now lived in Texas.

That was it. He’d officially cleared everybody on Paisley’s list, and he was no closer to figuring out who was harassing her than he had been when he’d started this. The theory that had felt so promising in the beginning wasn’t panning out, and there had been no further incidents since they got back to Eden’s Ridge. Not entirely surprising. Presumably her stalker had a job of some kind back in the Nashville area that would preclude a lot of trips four hours away. It didn’t mean this was over.

After sending Paisley a quick text to let her know he was on his way home, he turned the details over in his head, looking for a new angle. He couldn’t shake the idea that it was someone who knew her offline somehow. There were gifts sent that couldn’t have been parsed out from her social media accounts or the newsletters she’d sent. Someone knew her somehow. The question was who and from where? Paisley was a social creature. She knew lots of people from lots of places, and that didn’t rule out some kind of secondary connection between the stalker and someone who did know her well and might have inadvertently shared more about her than they’d realized. None of that narrowed the scope of the investigation. He needed another thread to tug.

She’d left lights on, he noted. It wasn’t something he normally bothered with, but he found he appreciated how that small thing made the cabin feel warm and welcoming against the chill winter air. More homey. Everything about having her here made the place feel more like a home than just a place he’d been parking his ass for more than a year. What would it be like to do this for real? To share a house, a life, with her? That wasn’t a fantasy he’d let himself entertain for what felt like an eon. But stepping inside, seeing all the little touches she’d added, all the signs of cohabitation and her sweet, silly dog, it was hard not to think about it.

A car pulled up outside. A minute later, Paisley swung through the door, bags in her hands, Duke on her heels. “I have dinner fixin's.”

Because he was still thinking about that fantasy, Ty crossed to her, curling his hands around the bags and bringing his lips to hers. She softened, leaning into him in that moment of surrender he craved. Some of those sharp edges he’d lived with for so long smoothed out a little. “Hi.”

“Hi to you, too.”

They grinned at each other for a moment before Ty remembered the groceries. He tugged them from her hands and carried them over to the kitchen. “How was your day?”

“More productive. The book is finally starting to gain some momentum again.
