“Of course. Are you new to town? I’ve never seen you before.” And Raven had made it her life’s mission to introduce me to everyone she knew.
Piper gave a slight nod. “Yes. I just got into town and am looking for a permanent place to stay. I…I hope that’s not a problem?”
“No, not at all.”
Relief seemed to ripple across her face, and she gave me a timid smile. “That’s great. I could really use this job.”
“And I could really use the help.” I didn’t know what it was about her, but I immediately liked her.
“Where are you staying?” Kane asked.
She averted her gaze for a moment then seemed to force out, “The Sanctuary. Though it might be more aptly called The Prison.”
She let go of a roll of self-deprecating laughter.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
She shrugged in uncertainty. “The owner is a little…overprotective. He demanded to know where I was going when I left today. He somehow thinks just because he did me a favor when he was fully booked, I’ve become his responsibility.” Then she dropped her attention to the ground and scratched her forehead, her voice lowering when she said, “I probably shouldn’t be unloading that on you, should I?”
A small giggle rolled from me. “You can definitely unload it since I’m pretty sure you and I are going to be great friends. Just to be clear, you are talking about Theo?”
Her blue eyes went wide with surprise. “Yes. Theo Mallin. You know him?”
“Oh, I definitely know him.”
Kane chuckled a low, disbelieving sound, and his words slipped into amusement. “So, you’re Piper Whittman. Welcome to Moonlit Ridge.”
