Chapter Ten

With the Memorial Day weekend behind them and the summer tourist season in full swing, Lori’s schedule at the clinic kicked into high gear. The steady stream of appointments kept her so busy that she rose early in the morning and fell asleep late at night and didn’t have a moment to spare to fret about Eternity Springs’s newest citizens.

Until late in the week when a no-show appointment finally gave her time to grab a bite of lunch and check her messages, and she found a long, bombshell text message from Caitlin on her phone. So, Chase’s sister was on her way to Denver with Ali and Lana to go wedding-gown shopping because a new wedding date had been set.

“July Fourth,” Lori murmured. Huh. First Valentine’s Day, now the Fourth of July. Lana must really have a thing for holidays.

Of course, Chase liked holidays, too. Lori would never forget how silly he got about the community Easter egg hunt in Davenport Park. The man always volunteered to be in charge of hiding the eggs, and like a general preparing for battle, he would devise detailed plans for each of the three different age classes of hunters.

She found time spent on the water both relaxing and soothing, and in light of the day’s news, she could use a dose of both. She needed to make peace once and for all with the fact that Chase was getting married.

She launched the kayak from the fishing pier and began to paddle the circumference of the lake. Immediately, the water began to work for her and her spirit began to settle.

What a weird start she’d had to this new beginning of hers. When she’d decided to accept Nic’s offer regarding the practice and move back to Eternity Springs, never in a million years would she have thought that Chase would be living here, too. Two streets down and one block over from her, if they moved into the old Carpenter place like rumor had it.

Not that Lori expected they would be there for long. Chase had come home to heal, but he’d get his mojo back and then they’d be off again. In the
