Murder by Yew (An Edna Davies Mystery #1)(68)

“Sweetheart, I’m so glad you’re home. Listen, Honey, could you come to Colorado right away? Karissa’s in the hospital, Grant’s in the middle of what he calls a software conversion, whatever that is, and someone’s got to take care of Jillybean. Is there any chance you could get a bus out tonight?”

Edna’s head reeled at the unexpected request. “What’s the matter with Karissa?”

“She may lose the baby. At this point, we’re afraid we might lose her, too. Sweetheart, I’ve missed you so much. Will you come?”

Her heart warmed with his words, but at the same time she was thinking, can I do it? Can I fly?

“Edna? Sweetheart?” He was waiting for her answer.

“Of course. I’ll call the travel agent as soon as we hang up and call you back with the details.” Even as she said it, her spine tingled at the thought, but she would make herself get on the plane.

“That’s great, Honey. I can’t wait to see you. I’ll tell you all about it when you get here, but you’re not going to believe what I’ve been through these last few days.”

Edna’s eyebrows went up as she gently put down the phone.
