A miracle.
Sadie stepped out onto the porch.
My eyes found her instantly.
Like they always did.
Something I was trying very hard not to think about.
She smiled when she saw me.
And damn if that didn't hit harder than a punch.
She walked toward me.
"Everything okay?"
"No."
Her smile faded.
"What happened?"
I looked toward the tree line.
The woods beyond the pasture.
The places a man could hide.
Watch.
Wait.
"I can feel him."
Sadie went still.
"What?"
I never took my eyes off the trees.
"He's out there."
The evening breeze moved through the grass.
The horses shifted.
A bird took flight.
Everything looked normal.
But every instinct I possessed was screaming.
Watching.
Waiting.
Hunting.
