The Trouble with Harriet

Page 27

by Dorothy Cannell


  “There’s no need for that. We’ve got time to run upstairs.”

  “The pantry will be cozier.” Ben spoke firmly as he took hold of my hand and tugged me along. “Plenty of food and bevs on hand if we’re holed up for a long siege. And”—I could hear the smile in his voice— “just the right amount of room in which to experience what it means to be alone at last.”

  To my daughter Rachael, who was the best Christmas present her father and I ever received and has been a blessing ever since.

  Acknowledgment
