PROLOGUE

Blue Creek, Montana1915Eloise runs through the woods faster than she knew her legs could take her. The leaves from the low-hanging branches of the trees slap her face, parts of her dress get caught in thorns and she hears the ripping sounds of a few tears in the hems, but she does not care. She does not stop. She cannot afford to; not after what she just saw. Just before she leaps over a log of wood, Eloise takes a second to look back into the dark woods and notices for the first time that she is no longer running alongside Mary Lou. Her best friend must have taken a turn towards her own house, neither of them collected enough to tell the other goodbye. They had both witnessed what was probably the worst thing either one of them had ever seen. As she runs out of the woods and heads down the pathway that leads to her house, Eloise decides to slow down. Running through the town at such speed will raise eyebrows and cause people to ask her questions that she is not willing to answer.

CHAPTER ONE

New York1921The Brooklyn Bridge remains a torturous nightmare and Eloise would do anything to stay away from it. It has been six years since she left her hometown and moved to the big city. A city that she had heard so much about but still, she has yet to allow herself make sense of how the bridge could be standing. The first that she had heard of New York was from the eldest Wheatley son, Philip, who had gone to college there. She remembers how she listened to him talk about tall buildings, cigars and women in elaborate hats with such keen interest. She remembers how she and Mary Lou had spent the next few days pretending to be women in New York, fanciful and rich. However, when she got into the city, none of it was as she had imagined it would be. At sixteen, Eloise was ill-prepared to live on her own so far away from home, but she had made her decision and could not afford to look back. Her first home and first disillusionment of what life in the city ought to be was a tenement

CHAPTER TWO

Eloise has been to Long Island multiple times since she met Stanley two years ago but this particular trip feels different. For one, they have both been very good at avoiding the discerning eyes of his family members and kept the true meaning of their relationship to themselves. As far as anyone else knew, they were just friends. Now, Eloise feels like they are finally making an announcement of both their intentions, baring their souls out for the world to see. This thought terrifies her so much that she squeezes Stanley’s hand tightly as they walked up to the front door.“Break my fingers. That’ll get them to like you,” he says, his tone dripping with sarcasm.Eloise draws her hand back immediately. “I’m sorry. My nerves are murdering me.”“Would you relax.” Stanley grabbed her shoulders as they stopped at the door and turned her so that they were face to face. “This may surprise you but I do not come from a family of snobbish monsters.”“Alright.” Eloise takes in a deep breath. “Let

CHAPTER THREE

Eloise is back in the woods. The same woods that she ran through when she was sixteen. This time though, she is wearing the same dress that she went to Stanley’s house in. In the distance, she can see a figure running in the woods, fast as lightning and headed towards her. Eloise turns on her heels and runs away but she just cannot move as fast as she ought to. She looks back to see that the undiscernible figure is getting closer but when she looks forward again, she finds herself at a precipice.Eloise awakes with a jerk. Her heart is still beating fast as though she is in danger. She clutches her chest and tries to calm herself by taking in deep breaths. She has not had this kind of vivid dream about those woods in a long while. Not since a few weeks after she arrived in New York when she still lived in the tenement. She had managed to push the memories away and save herself from the torture of the nightmares. Now, it seems that something is triggering their return. Eloise knows wha

CHAPTER FOUR

Eloise had hoped that her return to Blue Creek would be as uneventful as possible and for a short while, she gets her wish. She spends the first day and the first night tending to her father, John, who is more than happy to see her. She is heartbroken about his illness and blames herself for his solitude. That first day, father and daughter talk and bond and they tell each other what they have been through the past six years. John tells Eloise of the shows that the local theatre company have put on under his direction. Eloise tells him of her strides in New York while conveniently living out Stanley and his family. She makes him his favorite meal and watches him as he devours it. Eloise enjoys that time with her father thoroughly.However, by the second day of her arrival, news of her return had spread around the town like wildfire and everyone begins to come to visit just to see for themselves that Eloise has indeed return home. At first, this does not seem like a problem but when th

CHAPTER FIVE

Eloise returns home that morning with a burning in her mind that she just cannot shake off. It is not just the oak tree or the woods. It is the entire town. It has become a disease to her and if she is not careful, it will chip at her slowly and eat up all of her sanity. Otherwise, how can she explain her breakdown in the woods? To make things easier, Eloise decides that she will not inform her father of her decision to return to New York until she has packed her bags so that he cannot convince her to stay. Sure, he cannot take care of himself yet but Eloise knows that Mary Lou will check up on him. Also, while she has not confronted the issues of her past and is certain that she still cannot talk about them with Stanley or anybody, she has had enough and is uninterested in doing any more confronting.As she throws her clothes into her bag in a disorderly manner, she hears a knock at the door. Eloise groans as she heads towards it. The people of this town have such poor timing, she t

CHAPTER SIX

In the next scene, Estelle moves out of the town while Marilyn is left alone weeping and unable to make sense of what happened to their friend. At that point, the play announces a brief intermission. “We should go,” John says to Eloise as the recess starts.“Why?” Eloise asks. “This is for you. Does the play make you uncomfortable?”“No!” John says quickly. “I am just tired.”“Well, I think it will come to an end soon. Besides, I think it would really mean a lot to the actors if you stayed for the whole thing,” Eloise says to her father even though she really just wants to see the end of the show and see if Mary Lou’s promise of everything making sense would come to pass.“Fine.” John relaxes into his seat, defeated. The play resumes after ten minutes and announces a six-year jump in time. Estelle is back in town and she wants to take care of her father who has just broken his hip. It takes all of Eloise’s self-control to not leap off her seat and run to the stage when the next scen

CHAPTER SEVEN

Blue Creek, Montana As far as Eloise is concerned, it is only by sheer luck that her anxiety has not killed her. Not once in her twenty-three years in life, has she been so disturbed, mentally and physically. Last night, she had barely made it through dinner with her father, fiddling with the chicken like a child and answering his inquiries of what is wrong with nods and grunts, unable to even look at him. Truthfully, she wants to act as though nothing is wrong and that everything is just as it should be but it is not everyday that one finds out their father is a rapist murderer. As if the biggest revelation of her life is not enough hassle, her fiancé, Stanley who by all indications is the love of her life had showed up unannounced and asked her to move on from the town with him. He even gave her an ultimatum which expires in the morning. When she was twelve years old, Eloise had heard their neighbor, Mrs. Erin Wheatley, say that she was caught between a rock and hard place. How d

CHAPTER EIGHT

Eloise nods as Mary Lou speaks. Being unable to process what happened is a feeling that she recognizes. After all, Stanley’s family asking about her past had ruined what was a perfect lunch. “I understand Mary Lou and I am glad that you showed me in the medium that you know best. But I feel as though you have given me a mandate of justice. I do not know what to do.”Mary Lou’s eyes shine in the light of the lamp. Eloise can see the fear and apprehension in them. “Eloise, I am so sorry if I have put you in a tight corner but I did not know what else to do. I went to the local sheriff and all that man could tell me was that your father is an upstanding man in the community and that I have no evidence. I needed to tell someone else to do something somehow.”“Well, that someone cannot be me,” Eloise says a little too quickly. “My fiancé, Stanley is here and he wants me to leave all of this behind and go back to New York with him.”Eloise watches as Mary Lou’s expression becomes that of su

CHAPTER NINE

New YorkStanley drives into his parents’ mansion on Long Island at a breakneck speed and with a big smile on his face. If he were to be running, he would have skipped a few steps or maybe even burst into song about how happy he is. He gets out of the car with the same energy and joy and heads to the front door, swinging it open in one quick motion.“Mother! Father! Charlotte!” He calls out but gets only silence in response.Mildred emerges hurriedly from the living room area with a look of surprise on her face and smiles when she sees Stanley. “Mr. Bradshaw, you are welcome back.”“Thank you, Mildred. Where are my parents?”“They are in the back. Ms. Bradshaw has a meet.”Stanley gives Mildred a smile of appreciation and heads towards the back of the house. As he expects, the field is packed with their friends and family as it always is whenever Charlotte has a polo meet. He quickly spots Charlotte on the far end of the field on top of the big brown stallion that she had chosen herse
