But recently a strange feeling had come over her. She had the uncanny sense that someone was watching her every move.Sweet little Hannah. She wasn't so little any-more. Was she still sweet? Kane couldn't control the irrepressible memories of their first and only kiss as he watched her work the farm. "Come back when you grow up," he'd told her.

The sheriff was sympathetic, but he couldn't spend all his time at her place. And no one could explain the noises she heard on the property at night.
