Becca had closed her eyes earlier and rested during the drive to Harmony, but she still felt the heavy weight of fatigue, probably brought on by the stress of returning home. Seeing the house, the memories rushed upon her like the heat from the explosion on post. The unlatched door, the shadowed darkness of the room, her father’s butchered body lying on the floor. She climbed from the car, inhaling the cold, damp air and shivered. Colby placed his arm around her shoulders. She leaned into him, appreciating his warmth. He pulled her closer as if knowing the struggle raging inside her. At this moment, she needed Colby more than she had ever needed anyone. He sensed that need and pulled her fully into his embrace. A flicker of moonlight broke between the clouds and bathed them both in light. Colby hesitated and then slowly lowered his lips to hers. She clung to him like a lifeline, wanting to remain forever in his arms.
