Every time he looked at the tree, it reminded him that he’d lost his son. . She could feel the slight waves of his pain stirring within her, and she had to get away. Neil needed closure more than he needed anything else, his ache for his kidnapped baby reaching out to her.
Or maybe some kookie drug addict, brewing the stuff. . Impatience snagged at the air around Claire, Neil’s emotions reaching her. What the hell was taking her so long? He was chilled a little, his muscles ached, and inside him . . Inside him was a sweet ache, a long heartbreaking search. . His son would have liked Eunice’s house. . Claire remembered how Eunice had showed her the picture of a six-month-old baby, Neil’s son, who had been abducted years ago. The loss, and the lack of closure, had torn Neil apart.

But then, his own brother hadn’t attended either. “I’d love to have your aunt’s tea set, something to remember her by. Thank you. ” Claire seemed to be considering the camper-trailer he was building.
