Chapter 4
The grey sky
mirrored the uneasy feeling Linda woke with the next morning as conflicted
thoughts raced through her mind. She wanted to know why only certain people were invited to the party and why the owner of the house chose to remain a mystery. Was there a sinister purpose to the
gathering? Or was it just a way to welcome the newer residents to town? On the
other hand, Gregg, Ryan, Judy, and Todd—who had lived in town all their lives
and didn’t need to be welcomed—had also received invitations.
After finishing with the
lunch crowd, she decided to visit the other store owners to see if they could provide her with any useful
information about the party. She left Patty—the college student whom she’d
recently hired—in charge of the store. She was nervous about leaving her alone,
but she knew that she had to start trusting people at some point. She couldn’t spend
every minute of every day watching over her store. And what harm could Patty do
to her store, anyway?
