    sure it won’t be much longer until the Collins family bes the top second family in Easton!”


    Howard chortled. “That Daphne Dawson sure is capable. When you send the bags over tomorrow,

    Sean answered the phone blearity. When he found out that Kirk was missing, he had a few guesses of


    his own. Kirk had probably gone out


    to settle some business matters.


    “Thepany probably called him in with an emergency,” Sean said,forting Caroline.

    As he did he was using his other phone to call Kirk, but to no avail.

    AA’s heart softened, his tone bing gentler. “Did I scare you?”


    “You didn’t answer when I called, and you didn’t leave a message. Of course I was scared.” Caroline’s

    Kak’s heart felt like it was being shattered into pieces. “I’m sorry,” he said.


    Caroline looked at Kirk, who was bathed in moonlight. After a moment, she buried her face in his chest
