Kelley Armstrong Quote
I was backing out of the cabin when I noticed a piece of folded paper on the floor weighted down by a rock. I nudged the rock with my foot and saw my name.When I picked up the note, something fell out, and dropped beside the rock. I ignored it and took the note to the window to read it.There was another line, so scratched out I couldn’t decipher a word. I stared at the note for a second, then remembered the fallen object. I squinted at the floor but saw only the pale rock. I patted around until I found something, then rose, lifting it to the light.It was the rawhide band with the cat’s-eye stone, Rafe’s bracelet, the one his mother gave him.I clutched it in my hand. My breath hitched again, heart pounding.I opened the note again. Just those two lines. Cool and emotionless. Left. Will return.I held the page up to the window, trying to see what he’d crossed out.
