Chapter 39 Riding With The Winds

• Marissa smiled to herself as she contemplated the idea of bringing some of her clothes to Efrain's closet, knowing that she would be spending many nights here in the future. Just as she was lost in thought, she was interrupted 4by the jingle of her phone. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw it was Stella. With a smile, she accepted the call, bringing the device to her ear.
• "Hey, B," Marissa greeted her friend.
• "Hello there! I've been on the hunt for my elusive friend, Marissa Valiente. I'm eager to deliver my report to Sheriff Efrain Guerra," Stella joked in her usual playful way.
