Noticing Something
They pulled up to the big house, and Anna could barely look Jake in the eyes. They approached his parents, who were waiting at the door. Anna swallowed the lump in her throat.
She extended a hand to greet Jake?s father and noticed something strange. ?Oh,? she said, intrigued. ?Nice wedding ring. It?s so unique.?
Looking Up
?What?? Jake?s mother said in an angry tone. ?That?s not the wedding ring I got you! Where did you get that?? Confused by her reaction, Anna gathered her courage and looked up.
She saw that Jake?s father was caught off guard and couldn?t find the words he needed to explain himself. But that wasn?t what had her intrigued.
Familiar Face
Anna could swear she recognized the man, but she just didn?t know where she had seen him before. His face seemed incredibly familiar, though, and Anna wondered if she might?ve bumped into him in the city.
But when she brought it up with Jake, he said that his father never left the ranch. Since that was the case, Anna thought she might be making a mistake and dropped the matter.
Getting Curious
However, the more time Anna spent with Jake?s family, the more certain she was that she had indeed seen his father before.
Anna just couldn?t shake the feeling that she knew him, and that was stirring her curiosity. She wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, but if she had known what lay ahead, she would?ve stopped in her tracks.
