Huck continued to study me, as if waiting for me to say something. I smiled in return. If these people did their research, they’d find my picture and name on my uncle’s website. He could have known who I was for that reason because if he knew the former me, he wasn’t saying it. Finally, he stepped back to allow us to enter.
“I’ll let Gage make this call,” he said, still watching me with unease.
Uncle Neil went inside first, and I followed him. Curious as to why Huck didn’t seem pleased with my being the nurse. I did hope Uncle Neil had noticed and would perhaps broach the subject.
“I’ll take her upstairs and deal with the patient,” Uncle Neil told him.
Huck was still scowling, but he simply gave a nod, then walked away.
Uncle Neil turned to me. “Ready?”
“Yep,” I replied.
The tension in his shoulders and tight line of his mouth made it clear he had noticed Huck’s odd behavior toward me. Why hadn’t he said something? My uncle tried to shelter me from the life I used to have. It didn’t bother me normally because I preferred to not have to ask questions. But if I was going to be in this house regularly, then I thought it needed to be addressed.
If they had known me before two years ago, then they needed to know that Shiloh Ellis no longer existed. I’d forgotten her life the moment I hit the black ice and crashed into the side of a mountain.
