Robert stood there staring, and for a moment I thought
he was looking at me.
I wanted so badly for him to see me. Instead, he turned and walked toward the
master bedroom.
The next morning, he was up as usual. But things were different for me.
He was sitting there half dressed and I felt that I was
violating him by staring, but I couldn’t turn away. I didn’t want to turn away.
He continued working on his computer and I was desperate
to get his attention. A glance, a shiver
or even a small sign of fear would have been better than being ignored.
I sat down across from him with a drink from the
refrigerator. My legs were no more than
a foot and a half away from his. I was
too aware of that.
He had no clue.
I finished my morning routine, hoping that he’d hear me
like Leeann did. He didn’t. He stood up to leave for work.
I helplessly watched him walk to his carpool.
When the carpool pulled off, I retreated to the basement
and studied a few new alchemy spells.
Only my thoughts were not with it. My thoughts were with him.
It was time to return to the caravan.
News had gotten out about what we had done for Marsha
Healy. Doreen told me that we now had
client appointments booked weeks ahead of time.
All of these new clients were looking to get some type
of closure for some of the mysterious deaths that had occurred here in
Moonlight Falls over time. In their
minds, Doreen was the only one who could give them that closure.
It was around this time that that Robert began to
develop an independent case at the police department.
Just like our new clients at the caravan, Robert was
also looking for closure to an unsolved murder and decided to reopen a case
behind his boss’ back.
Although he kept it secret, his boss Janet still found
out about it. As he was getting closer
and closer to finding out more about the case of the girl who supposedly died
from an animal bite…
Janet did not like it.
She decided to stop him…
And he became a target…only she couldn’t kill him
outright. She had to figure out another
way to get him.
