But Steven drove on, unaffected, untouched by demons he had feared for so long.He found the entrance easily, turning sharply into the wide space in the dark hedges that hid the property from sight. The drive swept to the left, still lined by ten-foot hedges, concealing any trace of the inner grounds from the street. Steven stopped. ”I went out and started my Chevy as soon as I came downstairs. When I walked into the kitchen, Clara was pouring my coffee.“You look good in that dress, Clara.

There was no telling what opportunities tomorrow would bring; and, given the state the women were in, I had to do something to keep them fed.
