Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Trisha hung up the phone in her office, having called all her men for the okay to return to the orchard. Her hands were still shaking.

Eyeing the door, she slunk in her chair. She'd been hiding out in her office since Nick had dropped her off this morning. Unable to face her parents or Nancy and Eduardo yet, she ran through the chores needing to be done.

After Chuck's funeral, whenever that may be, she and the men needed to prepare for Halloween on the orchard. Unlike the other holidays, Halloween celebrations ran the entire month of October. They offered hayrides through the orchard, a children's maze near the tree line, and a caramel apple-making activity. That was only the half of it. Besides the chores dealing with the trees themselves, the decorations had to come out of storage and be arranged. Deciding it was the perfect distraction, Trisha left her office.
