Teaser #1 for Half-Moon Manor

So...here's a teaser from Half-Moon Manor. My editor is about a 4th done.

Prologue

Two Months Ago

    The day that Victoria Whitmore brought George Bell home still stood out in Olivia’s mind months later.  He was tall, muscular, and easy-going.  It did not change the fact that Olivia had an odd feeling about him or that she felt as if he needed to be in their lives for some inexplicable reason. 
This feeling of where people, or the things attached to the people, belonged followed her around; it was her birthright, an inheritance of sorts from her grandmother’s family.  At least she could counter her odd talent with the ability to cook. Everybody knew that her mother could not and that they would both starve if Olivia had not learned how to when she was young.  Oh, and George could cook – that was his main appeal. 
    Whenever he smiled at her she felt creepy, as if he was not smiling at her because he was dating her mother but because he had other sinister thoughts going on in his brain.  Something was missing or disconnected from this man’s mind, even if Olivia did not know what it was or where it could be found.  Maybe it had never been there. 
Regardless, her mother had yet to have any strange visions about him, so he would be sticking around a while longer. 
    Everybody close to Victoria wondered why she stayed with George, why she was willing to give him the key to her apartment.  No one else saw that he was smart, funny, athletic, and charming when he wanted to be, but they were all things that only Victoria (and on the rare occasion Olivia) saw on a regular basis.
