have to discover how to resolve this for yourself.” He kissed her on the forehead before departing.
    It was the last time Josh Nelson ever spoke to his daughter about forgiving Landon Gray. A few months later he died of a massive heart attack.
    Olivia knew that with the loss of her father, she was giving herself permission to finally put the wheels of her plan in motion. Had her father lived to be eighty, she would have moved forward with her retribution. However, with him gone, she would never have to worry about seeing the disappointed look in his eyes if he ever discovered what she had done and that she had used the inheritance he had left her to help fund her efforts.
    Deep in her thoughts, Olivia had missed the beautiful drive to the resort. Rounding a curve in the road, her shutterbug instincts kicked in when she saw the hotel. Her fingers were itching for her camera. It was a beautiful building with nineteenth century Romanesque Revival architecture. The structure possessed similar features as the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, including the prerequisite mountain range in the background.
    She was the last person to exit the van. Having recovered from the shock of seeing Landon so soon and remembering her mission, she gave him a charming smile, graciously accepting the hand he offered to help her out of the vehicle.
    “Thank you,” she said when her feet were on solid ground. “It is absolutely breathtaking here.”
    “There’s no place else like it,” came Landon’s reply.
    Waiting at the front entrance of the hotel were two bellhops dressed in red cropped jackets and bow ties. The two men nodded to the guests. When the luggage had been pulled from the trunk, the hotel employees were directed by Landon to assist the two couples, leaving Olivia without help.
    The resort owner looked at the young photographer. “I will show you to your room, Ms. Johnson. Please follow me.”
    The Grand Vue may have looked like an age-old castle straight out of Bavaria, but it was truly a modern wonder. The décor in the lobby was a metro modern design, with touches of the French influence. Tufted chaises in shades of deep purple were nestled in secluded corners of the lobby. Silver and glass-plated sconces lined the hallways.
    When Landon pushed the button to the elevator, he looked at Olivia. “I understand you will be with us for an extended stay, Ms. Johnson. May I ask if you are here for business or pleasure?”
    Forcing herself to look into his soft hazel eyes, she smiled. “I am here for both, but mainly business. I am a photographer on assignment to capture the beautiful wonders of Patagonia.” The elevator doors opened and both Landon and Olivia moved into the space along with her many bags. “My plans are to reside here for three months, then do a farm stay for the other half of my journey.”
    Landon nodded in approval. “You’ve done your research well. A farm stay is the best way to experience the real Patagonia. We have many terrific hosts in the area that will be happy to provide you with comfortable accommodations. I would be glad to make some personal recommendations if it would be helpful.”
    “That would be wonderful.”
    The slowing down of the elevator signaled the arrival to Olivia’s floor. Once inside the suite, Landon placed all of her bags by the door of the dressing room and began to make his leave. She knew full well that he owned the place, but needing to keep up the charade, she reached into her purse for some dollar bills.
    “All I have is U.S. currency; will that be okay for your tip?”
    “No need, Ms. Johnson. Add it to what you plan on leaving for your housekeeper. Have a good evening and I hope you enjoy your stay.”
    “Thank you.”
    When the door to her suite closed behind Landon, the stress and loneliness of the day, the last few weeks, and the past twelve years filled her with sorrow. She lay on top of the beige silk and down comforter and cried. “Jacob and Daddy, why did
