She grinned and stared into Lucas’s eyes. “I did, didn’t I?”
“You sure did.”

Two Years Later…
Annandale, Virginia, USA
The message light blinked as though going into cardiac arrest. Elena bounded over to the answering machine, thinking maybe her husband had called to let her know when he’d be home. They had been married for almost two years and had a beautiful daughter. Life couldn’t be better. To think, she’d once been so worried that he’d lost interest in her. Lucas made sure she knew how much he loved her every day.
Smiling, she pressed the play button, her body stiffening when a woman’s voice came on the line, slightly breathless.
“Hi Elena. It’s Carey…Carey Madigan. I really need to talk to you. I know it’s been a while, but I need your help. I have nowhere else to turn, please call me as soon as you get this…please.” She emphasized and ended the call with her cell number.
Elena’s heart constricted. Carey sounded so anxious and tense, like she was barely holding on. What could’ve happened to cause her to reach out so desperately? Carey had always been so level-headed, but she didn’t sound like herself on the voice mail message. Whatever was troubling her, Elena vowed to help her through it. For Carey to be calling, it had to be bad. She would not fail her again.
“Oh my,” she murmured.
