Chapter 13

• Emersyn walked around the yard, slowly, careful of how much weight she put on her ankle. There was no injury that would keep her inside today. She stayed close to the trees, avoiding buildings and the areas they were building. She didn’t know the rules of where she could go or shouldn’t go, and she didn’t want to do anything to make them regret bringing her here.
• She was amazed that she could stand in one spot and smell so many things at once. The smells of nature were so new to her, that she was sure she’d never get tired of them. Years of the old house smells needed to be purged from her mind.
• Facing the trees, she took a deep breath and realized the scents of others came to her. Three if she wasn’t mistaken, two she didn’t know, but the one she did. Noah was out there. If she hadn’t recognized his smell, she would have gone back to the trailer. There was no mistaking the male scents that were out there and she wasn’t ready to face unknown men.
