“How is he?”

I never even hesitated. “He looks very good. A little older, but still my dad.”

Tom nodded. “And your mom?”

“She’s buried in a little cemetery near the old house.”

“I’m sorry, Liza.” Tom wrapped his arms around me again and squeezed me gently.

“How’d you know about my dad?” I asked.

“I made Justin tell me why you were going to your old house in Texas. He said that he traced the email with your parents’ picture to Cartena, Texas. I put two and two together and figured that the last email came from your dad.”

“You’re a very wise man, Sheriff Tom Owens.” I touched his face.

He chuckled.

“So now what?” I asked. “Do you call your FBI friends and tell them that my dad is still alive?”

Tom frowned. “They already know that he’s alive, Liza.”

“What if I invite him to Christmas dinner?”

“Then I’ll have to arrest him.”

“Maybe not, then.”

“Good idea,” he winked at me.

Then he linked his arm around my waist and we walked through the terminal. The entire way, I gave away the balloons to children who were waiting for flights or for someone to return home to them. They giggled in delight, which echoed the way I felt.

As we got into Tom’s truck, I asked, “Do you know an
ything about rodeos
?”

“Sure, they
are all over the valley
.
I went to a few when I was young, but haven’t been for years.

I guess I’ll have to buy some new cowboy boots and get back in the saddle!

Epilogue

 

Last book, I shared the recipe for Apple Pots. I fell in love with Chocolate Melting Cake on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Below is the recipe. Enjoy and share it with someone you love!

 

Chocolate Melting Cake

 

8 ounces of semisweet chocolate

1 cup (2 sticks) of butter

7 eggs, divided use

6 tablespoons of sugar

1/2 cup of flour

 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Melt the chocolate and butter and cool for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix four eggs with sugar. Whisk. Then add flour and whisk. Add the remaining three eggs and add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture. Pour this entire mixture into individual ramekins. Bake until just done, about 15-20 minutes (interior will be melting). Serve with vanilla ice cream.
