Ford’s reputation had preceded him.

      The sheriff started to ask him something, but behind them, the dining room doors burst open. Ford was surprised it had taken Emily this long.

      “What’s going on?” she demanded.

      As the sheriff filled her in, she burst into tears and called for Drew. Suzanne finally came out seeming more irritated than anything else. “Liam’s been hurt,” Emily cried. “Drew, will you drive me to the hospital?”

      “Of course, Mother,” he said.

      “I just need to change,” she said looking down at her shoes. Ford would guess she didn’t want to get them wet.

      “I’ll stay here, Mother,” Suzanne said. “In case anyone calls.”

      Why would anyone call? Ford wondered. Suzanne still held her wineglass. She drained it and turned back to the dining room. A look passed between Suzanne and Emily before a tearful Emily ascended the stairs with Drew following after her.

      Ford noticed that Emily hadn’t asked about Liam’s accident. “Where was he found?” he asked as the others left him and the sheriff alone.

      “Up Maple Creek. When did you get to town?”

      “Rozalyn followed me in from Oakridge.”

      “Then you saw the jumper at Lost Creek Falls?” The sheriff sounded surprised.

      Ford shook his head. “I’m not sure there was a jumper. I think she might have…imagined it. She’s been pretty upset about her father—and with good reason it seems. Who found him?”

      “Some Bigfoot hunters. They dropped him at the hospital.” The sheriff glanced up the stairs as Rozalyn hurried down.

      Ford reached for the keys dangling from her fingers. “I’m driving you.”

      “I’d like to have a few words with you at the hospital,” the sheriff was saying to Ford.

      “No problem.” He took the keys from Rozalyn before she could protest. The sheriff raised a brow, probably expecting Rozalyn to put up a fight. “We’ll see you at the hospital, Sheriff,” Ford said.

      Roz let Ford open the passenger side door of her SUV for her, then watched him hurry around to slide behind the wheel.

      She leaned back against the seat, fighting panic, as she gave him the four-block directions to the Timber Falls hospital. Her father was in a coma. Mitch said he’d fallen from a cliff up Maple Creek Road and had been found by some Bigfoot hunters. Hadn’t she known something had happened to him? If only she’d come sooner. If only—

      Her gaze swung to Ford, suddenly remembering what he had said. “What did you mean when you told me my father was in trouble?” she asked as they neared the hospital.

      He shot her a look, then turned back to his driving. “Let’s just go to the hospital and find out what we can for now, all right?”

      “No,” she said, sitting up a little straighter. “You said it was the reason you were here. Did you mean Timber Falls? Or the house?”

      “There isn’t time to get into this right now. I’ll tell you everything,” he said, meeting her gaze. “After you see your father.”
