Chapter 10

“Maybe that’s her,” I said, rushing back inside.

Elizabeth and Jack followed me through the house. The sound seemed as if it had come from the kitchen. When I pushed through the swinging kitchen door, I spotted Deedee. The light from the refrigerator light set her face aglow.

“Deedee, what are you doing in here? If Warren finds you he will throw a fit,” I said.

“I don’t need to lose weight. I need food.” She pulled out a bundle of asparagus and then tossed it back.

“What about the healthy lifestyle?” I asked.

“This is my healthy lifestyle,” she said as she shoved a large strawberry into her mouth. “Where are the cupcakes?”

Jack laughed.

“Well, I guess now that the excitement is over we can go back to bed.” Elizabeth yawned. “I’m looking forward to the yoga class in the morning.”

“Are you doing the class too?” Jack asked.

Elizabeth smiled. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

“I’m doing that class too,” Deedee said, waving a bundle of broccoli through the air.

Jack smiled at both of them and said, “Well, good night, ladies, see you in the morning.”

“Good night,” they said in unison.

Once Jack stepped out of the room they glared at each other. If looks could kill they’d both be on the floor.

I moved in front of Elizabeth. “Okay, good night, Elizabeth.”

She turned and strolled out of the room. No way would I tell Deedee that I’d caught Elizabeth and Jack together at the front door.

I moved closer to Deedee. “So what’s going on between you and Elizabeth?”

“What do you mean?” Deedee asked in an innocent voice.

“Well, you two look at each other like you hate each other. How can you hate someone you don’t know? That’s not healthy. Plus, it’s not good for the positive vibes I have going on around here.”

“Elizabeth started it.” Deedee crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“She started what?” I asked.

Deedee stared at me for a moment and then finally said, “Well, it was her flirting with Jack.”

“So that’s what this is all about?”

She blew the bangs out of her eyes. “No, that’s not all of it.”

“Well, what’s the rest?” I leaned against the counter.

“I’m not sure.”

“Then how do you know there’s more?”

“Like I said before, I know her from somewhere.”

“It’s so odd that you claim to know her, but can’t remember and she can’t remember anything.”

Deedee shrugged. “I can’t explain it.”

“There was one other thing,” I said.

“What’s that?” she asked.

I looked over my shoulder to make sure the kitchen door was still closed. I lowered my voice and said, “About Jack. Do you think he’s the bear?”

She frowned. “I don’t know. I hadn’t thought about it, but I guess it’s possible.”

“I mean he showed up not long after the bear was spotted,” I said.

“But why did he look so mean? He’s so sweet now.” She practically swooned when she said that.

“I don’t know. Do you think I should ask him about it?”

“Only if you do it in a nonchalant way,” Deedee said.

Just then we heard a rustling movement.
