But from the very beginning, she’d felt certain that if she could just get to her little house in Burlington she’d be safe. She thought she was so smart. She was wrong and so completely out of her depth. She was also unbelievably tired.
And now, standing at the front door of her home in the small town by the river, the one place where she should be safe…believed she’d be safe…it turned out that the very same danger she’d faced hundred of miles to the east of her small home had once again followed her. But this time there was no where else to go.
