CHAREESE DEVLIN GLANCED up at the old bed and breakfast that had been in
her family for generations. She’d spent the better part of her adult life
pretending Hill House didn’t exist because it seemed easier to forget. So why
was it her first stop after passing the town welcome sign for Mount Dora?
She hadn’t worked through the answer to that question yet.
Perhaps she never would. Only, she couldn’t deny how looking upon the
place that held many of her childhood memories had quieted inner
deliberations of life, love, and career woes.
A sigh escaped her as she turned her attention away from the top of the
hill and headed back to her rental car. She slid into the convertible and
pressed the button to let the top down. For a second, she considered tying the
pink scarf peeking out of her purse around her hair, but then decided to just
be wild and free. This would be the only time she could let go on her summer
vacation because she knew that for the next month her life would be full of
the restrictions and expectations she had shunned. She swallowed the bitter
taste she associated with the Shores and locked her emotions away as the
engine roared to life.
The warm, humid breeze licked her skin, and she pressed the gas as she
rode the curves along the old highway. The view of the sun shining down,
creating a sparkle effect onto Lake Dora, was spectacular, perfect…
everything she remembered. Her gaze shifted to the houses neatly tucked
among the hills as she sniffed the blooming magnolia trees, and for the first
time in ten years she missed the place she vowed never to return to.
Never had been rigged. A daydream severed by a mother who remained
caught up in the old guard and appearances. Hence, the Lakeside Debutante
Ball she would attend to officially watch her sister, Alexandria, debut into
society—just as she and four generations of the women in her family had.
Chareese shrugged off the encroaching pressure and turned the music up
in the car. She had less than seven minutes before she turned into the
driveway of her parents’ summer estate. This was her last time to enjoy the
vacancy of not having to battle against the mental games of which her mother
reigned as queen for the next month.
