The girls ran frantically down stairs when they heard their mother scream. Alone for miles around in the old farm house they had recently inherited, Jill and Jane were still uncertain of their surroundings, so panic easily set in when they saw a man standing on the living room floor in front of their mother’s bedroom doorway. Years ago Mary’s husband had died, leaving her alone to raise their two daughters, and a few months ago Marks’s father passed away too, leaving them her late husband’s would-be estate – an old farm house in the middle of 21 acres of corn fields. Welcome to Nebraska! And now there was some rugged stranger standing in front of her room, staring at her from inside her own house! With a scream, she automatically begin quaking, quickly drawing the towel that had been drying her freshly cleaned body off up to cover her nakedness from him. With the towel wrapped around her, her mind froze in terror, her voice pierced the air, and under her scream the man never heard the girls’ footsteps racing down the flight of wooden stairs.
