“Do you think there’s a secret in there?” Cassie asked as she stared up at the house tucked behind the towering oak tree. The black wrought-iron fence, adorned with intricate fleur-de-lis patterns, stood as a stern guardian to the old Southern house. Moss clung to the house’s stone pillars, and the faded shutters sagged under centuries of stories untold.
The fence prevented them from getting any closer.
“Gosh, I hope so,” Lily answered. “Though if not, at least we got a nice two weeks away in warmer weather.”
Cassie pulled a lock of blonde hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear. “It’s weird to think of her living there.”
“Over two centuries ago. You booked the tour tomorrow, right?”
“Yes. Tomorrow afternoon. Starts at 1:30 p.m.”
“I guess we’re off for the rest of the night, then.” Lily let her hand fall from the curve of a decorative detail on the fence. “Maybe we can enjoy some beach time.”
“I’d also like to ask Ri for any details she can give us about where this journal may be hidden.”
They left the house behind and strolled down the treelined street. “I have that written down from when she and Clif told Ruby.”
Cassie shoved her hands into her pockets with a sigh. “I know. But…we may not have a lot of time to look for this. I want to be able to find this as quickly as possible.”
“I’m hoping we have time to explore on our own. Was there no admittance to just look around?”
Cassie aimed her keyfob at their rental and unlocked the doors.
“Sorry, Mom.” She slid behind the wheel and buckled in. “They didn’t have an I’d-like-to-poke-around-and-try-to-find-something-that-belonged-to-Black-Jack pass.”
“You know what I meant,” Lily said with a shake of her head as she tugged on her seat belt. “At least we don’t have too far to drive.”
“No,” Cassie said as she pulled from the space and aimed for their rental home on Tybee Island. “But I’m glad we live in a small northern seaside town.”
Lily chuckled. “Too big for you?”
“Way too big for me,” Cassie said with a nod.
“At least this is a two-lane out to the island.”
“Those four lane highways are way too fast for me anymore. I’m used to the meandering roads we have between towns,” Cassie said as she guided the car toward their rental.
“I’m getting used to that, too. But I never liked fast-paced traffic and all the hustle bustle. Even where we lived before Hideaway Bay was a little congested for my taste.”
“So, are you glad we made the move, then?” Cassie slid her eyes sideways to her mother for a second.
Lily tugged at her seat belt as she shifted in her seat. “I am. How do you feel about it?”
“I’ve always wanted to live in a seaside town, and I still haven’t gotten tired of it.”
“That’s good,” Lily answered as her phone chimed. She leaned forward, the seat belt stopping her from reaching her bag on the floor. “Ugh, this stupid thing. I’m going to choke on it one of these times.”
She wiggled free from it and snatched her bag from the floor, then dug through it to retrieve her phone and glasses. “Oh, it’s from Wyatt.”
“Anything new in the Bay?” Cassie asked, flicking her gaze to her mother before snapping it back to the road.
