Isabel nodded, but as he turned to go, she said, “Hey, wait ... you said they’ve been playing for an hour?”
Travis quirked a brow. “Yeah. I was doing some working out on the front part of the deck and could see them.”
“For an hour.”

She thought about the phone calls but brushed them aside. If there were any more, she’d say something to Miles. “No. It’s just ... ” She smiled. “Unexpected, I guess.”
