I changed the rating because there are a couple cuss words. Nothing really
serious though.
Kellybell: Actually I'm basing it on A Rush of Wings by the same author.
I'll have to read The Rose Legacy though
Jeremy was sick of waiting. He called Andrew, his private investigator, one evening after he got home from work. "Anything?"
Smugly, Andrew asked, "Well whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?"
"Don't be a jackass. Have you found Lucy?"
"Nope. I do know that she withdrew $3,000 from her account, so she's using cash."
"Damn. Keep trying." Sooner or later, he'd have her.

Lucy sat in the living room one night after dinner. Kevin was working on one of his saddles and Ben sat in a chair looking out the window. He hadn't confronted her about the incident on the mountain. That was fine with her.
Kevin looked up from the saddle and asked, "When will you be leaving?"
Lucy was surprised. She looked up, but he wasn't talking to her.
"Tomorrow morning."
Since when was Ben leaving? "Where are you going?"
"Dallas, got a job prospect."
"You're getting a job?" Kevin smirked and she realized how rude she sounded. "I'm sorry Ben, I didn't mean it like that."
"It's all right."
"So you'll just leave?"
Ben smiled. "I'll be you'll miss me, I'm touched Lucy." He headed upstairs, but not before blowing her a kiss.
Kevin turned to face her. "Ben's not a slacker. Actually he's very successful."
"What does he do?"
"He turns around businesses that are failing. He's actually pretty well-known. He has an MBA from Wharton. After that he began saving the world, one business at a time. So he's more of a prodigy."
Lucy smiled. Ben Kinkirk? No wonder he always wanted to help. I'm just freeloading- that remark sure threw her off. It wasn't surprising that he saw the 'real Lucy'.
"He comes here to relax. Fixing everyone's problems wears him out."
That's exactly what he was trying to do for her. Maybe she should have let him. She gathered her things to get ready for bed. "Goodnight Kevin."
"Good night."
A/N: Some are wondering: This will be a Kevin and Lucy story, but Lucy needs to get away from her past before anything can happen with her and Kevin or Ben.
