  “Mrs. Tembril, who lives in the grove?”

  “I don’t think anyone lives out there.” She glanced at her husband.

  Corry kept his expression neutral. “I thought I saw a deer out there this morning.”

  Martin, who’d stayed in the house several summers, spoke up. “You’ll see plenty more if you keep your eyes open—raccoons, rabbits, armadillos, foxes. This area has a lot of wildlife.”

  Corry nodded. “Wildlife. Yeah.”
