Chapter 38
Rachel looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to see the woman from the beach. She was wearing a short sun dress that displayed her slender body in all its curvy glory, while her bright orange-red hair glistened and flowed about her shoulders. Up close, Rachel noticed that the woman was quite stunning even with her minimal makeup and she was not as old as she’d looked the other day at the beach.
“Hi,” Rachel greeted her. “I’m quite surprised to run into you again,” she said candidly. What were the chances of running into the same stranger twice and at different locations? Was this just a coincidence or was the woman stalking her? That just didn’t make sense, did it?
“It’s a small world, my dear,” said the woman. “Where is your daughter?”
Rachel didn’t know how much information she should give this strange woman about the whereabouts of her child, so she decided to get away from her. She took a step back and bumped into Mark.
