Lindsay grimaced as she carefully sat up in the bed and put her legs over the side. She was just ready to stand up when John walked into the room. “Lindsay, what are you doing?” John asked, scolding her. “Has Isabella told you that you can get out of bed yet?” Lindsay sighed and answered, “No, she hasn’t. John, being here is driving me crazy. I have been here for almost a week, and I don’t know how much more I can take. Can you please talk to Izzy and get her to release me? I promise I will behave if she lets me go home.”John laughed and said to her, “Wren has told me stories about what you are like when you are hurt or sick, and I was never sure I fully believed them. After this, I see they were all true.” “Is that good or bad?” she asked, smiling. “It is good. That is part of what makes you you. Now, let me help you get back into bed. I will find Isabella and tell her you are feeling better and want to go home. Truly, my dear, you are healing well, so I don’t see why you need t

Max and Dillon had done everything they could think of to clean the house before Lindsay and Wren got home. They had a load of dishes running in the dishwasher, the floors had been swept and mopped, and they even did the laundry after they washed Crook. Max had just put a couple of frozen pizzas in the oven when they heard Wren’s car pulling into the driveway. They hurried to the door and waited for Wren and Lindsay to walk in, so that when the pair did, they were met by Max and Dillon, both standing and smiling at them.“Oh, this is frightening,” Wren said as soon as he opened the door and saw them.“Don’t pick on them too much. It looks like they have been behaving themselves,” Lindsay said as she carefully hugged both Dillon and Max.Crook came running into the room and started bouncing up and down by her to get her attention. She looked down at the dog and kneeled to pet him.“Did you guys give him a bath, too?” she asked.“That was your son’s idea. He said something about that p

Wren drove to Little Bob’s house. They passed the river access, where they encountered the creature that had attacked Big Bob. When they did, Wren squeezed Lindsay’s hand. There had been many close calls since she had become sheriff. This wedding was a nice distraction from everything that had happened.They pulled into Little Bob’s driveway and parked under one of the giant oaks that lined it. Before they were even out of the car, Little Bob was walking toward them. “Are you ready for him?” Wren asked Lindsay. “The better question is, are you ready for him? I will be inside with the ladies trying to keep Evie and Jenny from crying themselves silly,” Lindsay answered, smiling at him. “You have fun with that, and yes, I’m ready for him,” Wren laughed. “About time you three got here,” Little Bob called out as they got out of the car. “Evie and Jenny are making Molly nervous, and they are all driving me crazy.” “I will take care of them if you take care of these two,” Lindsay told

It was a warm summer night, and Lindsay was in her favorite place, her front porch. It was sometime after midnight, and she was once again awake because of nightmares. Most of the time, Lindsay didn't remember what they were; she would just wake up in a cold sweat, her heart pounding. This time, she remembered all of it. She remembered what happened the day Wren had found Clayton. Remembering Wren lying on the ground filled her with panic. She heard the door open, and Wren and Crook came onto the porch. Wren had two bottles of her favorite orange soda and handed one to her.“Nightmares?” Wren asked as he sat beside her and kissed her. “Yeah, about what happened with Clayton,” Lindsay answered. Wren put his arms around her and pulled her close. He did not say anything; he just held her. He did not want to tell her he had been having nightmares about the same thing. After several minutes, he let go, looked at her, and tucked her hair behind her ear. “Are you feeling better?” he asked
