Three months later, Kaitlin
arrived. He chuckled to himself as he gazed at his beautiful wife, and held
this bundle of joy in his arms. He’d never forget the day they met, the day

in his life.

who looked just like the lovely woman he discovered living deep in the woods
while searching for that well-known fishing hole. He stood and admired Nattie
as she dozed off in her hospital bed. With little Kaitlin in his arms, he
slowly turned to gaze out the window and smiled as he watched the sky lighten
and the darkness melt away with love on the horizon.

discovers they’re being followed…
