"Apparently, he heard through the grapevine that Eric tried to run me off the road, and he said he realized that it was my crazy brother-in-laho had been at fault in our earlier altercation and that he figured he wouldn't want towith us because of Eric In fact, he said Eric had a friend bad together So he decided to give us a second chance"
"That's great," I said, butterflies in my stomach "That's what you wanted from the start Seneca was your first choice of coht?"
"Absolutely I' over to have a drink with Ada, if that's okay with you I'll be hoht o'clock instead of six thirty?"
"Of course," I said "Take whatever tiet here"
We said goodbye and I hung up, glancing around the kitchen to think about e could have for supper I had some tio for a walk along the beach
I called over to Mark, as on security duty, and let him know
"I'll be right there, Mrs Marshall Gotta changethe beach"
Onshoes and a sweater and put on lasses The day was partly cloudy with sunny breaks and I wanted to watch the sun setting over the ocean I'd decided to cook some pasta and have a salad, so that wouldn't take et in a walk before I had to do any work
Once Mark was ready, alked along the beach, with hi the beach and road that bordered the ocean for any sign of danger I had grown accustomed to his presence, and while I had been aard at first on our walks along the beach, I was now so used to them, I barely noticed he was there My walk lasted about twenty minutes and on lass for e on his cell He ca up to me and stopped me
"Mrs Marshall, I'e that the house security system was activated and so one
of our guards is going to check it out I don't want to go back there right now, just in case there's an intruder"
"Oh, God," I said "Do you suppose it's Blaine?"
"I have no idea, Ma'auard will check it out It could be a false alarm If not, the Westhampton Beach Police Department will send officers to the scene"
"Okay," I said and pulledorto break into the beach house to hurt me He must have realized we had security and maybe kneere out on a walk My heart raced while aited for word on how to proceed
Mark spoke into his cell and glanced around "Okay, thanks I'll bring her back"
