Kellie # 9
Cooper’s Restaurant was quiet at one
o’clock that Friday afternoon. Kellie and Taylor were enjoying a cup of coffee
and a slice of pie while Kellie’s son, Aaron, did his best to mash cookies into
his hair.
Taylor smiled at Aaron and commented, “I
remember when Kayla ate like that. Thank goodness she’s outgrown it for the
most part.”
Shaking her head, “Kellie answered, “He’s
much different than the girls. They were little ladies from the day they were born, and now they’re nearly nine. Where has
the time flown, Taylor?”
She took a sip of coffee and looked at
Aaron. “I don’t know. It’s hard to believe Aaron’s two, Kayla’s four, and Ethan
and your girls have birthdays in a few weeks. At least it’s been quiet since
Miss Annabelle’s spirit left and you found the last rose.”
“Thank goodness. I think that last single red rose meant our lives would quiet
down and the spirits would leave me alone. Max certainly is happy that I
stopped battling evil,” she said and slid the last bite of pie into her mouth.
Six hours later, a jogger found a body
dressed in jeans and a pink sweatshirt edged with embroidered red roses.
