Chapter 15

“I’M SO SORRY.” CHARITY side-shuffled so she stood in front of Margaret. “I didn’t realize... My apologies.” Had Margaret even noticed T&A walk right by her? The fierce woman probably thought it had been her holding up the line the entire time. Charity squared her shoulders and held her hand out. “My condolences with the loss of your husband.”

Margaret shook her hand. She smiled politely. “Thank you, but you never met the man. You can’t possibly commiserate or sympathize with how I feel.”

Charity blinked in surprise. Seriously? Could the woman be any ruder to her? She’d brushed off the earlier comments and made excuses for her harshness, but now, in the hot sun with a few drinks in her, she had to physically bite her lip to stop a retort she would regret. She glanced at Elijah but he was quietly chatting with an older gentleman and hadn’t heard. So she forced a tight smile as she pulled her hand out of the woman’s cool fingers. She turned and muttered, “No wonder Elijah left.”

“Excuse me?” Margaret spoke loudly. Nearly everyone in the tent area turned their heads to watch. “Did you say something?”

Cheeks burning, Charity thought quick and lied. “I said: I wonder how Elijah felt. How he feels, you know, with being so far away and losing his father.” She met Margaret’s glare and blinked innocently; meanwhile her heart pumped a furious rhythm so loud she was sure everyone could hear. Could this trip feel any more awkward? Margaret’s Jekyll and Hyde personality seemed aimed directly at Charity. Either the woman wanted to use her as her punching bag or ... Charity refused to let herself finish the thought.

Out of the corner of her eye a large white truck with a green and blue symbol on it pulled along the parking area near the grass. The New Zealand Conservation had arrived. She spoke quietly, not sure if Margaret would be angry if she gave the “secret” away. “The endangered birds have arrived. Why don’t I go speak with them and see where a good spot for their release will be?”

“Yes, check with them. Tell them we’ll be ready in about an hour or so.”

The way she spoke made Charity feel like someone hired to set this up. She walked over to the tall, thin driver who had already gotten out of the truck and had opened the back doors of the trailer. It took a bit to get to the parking area from the tent.

“Hi, I’m Charity Thompson.” She held out her hand. The man wore a tag on his shirt that read Bobby. “I’m the one who called you guys and set this all up.”

Bobby smiled and shook her hand vigorously. “Cool. These guys are ready to get out of this heat cabin and off into the wild.” He glanced across the lawn and gave a low whistle. “They said this place was a palace. Man, they were right.”

Charity laughed. “I thought the same thing when I got here.
