Here is a sneak peek…

Garrett

“Is she okay?” I take inventory of the woman’s features, but nothing about her is familiar. She’s not a neighbor. Door-to-door canvassers don’t usually bring small children with them when they knock on doors, especially not when it’s raining heavily. And they don’t usually wait for people to come home, nor do they read on the homeowner’s porch.

The woman’s gaze darts to something over my shoulder, possibly Kellan. She shifts on her feet, as if she’d rather be anywhere but here, her attention returning to me.

“She’s your…” She adjusts the girl a little higher on her waist, her eyes never leaving me, her skin a little paler than before. “She’s your daughter.”

I stare at the pair for a fraction of a second, positive I’ve misheard her, the heavy rain drowning out her words.
