Fortunately her salon is only a few minutes away, so she’s only a few minutes late. But I did remember to grab my backpack, which still has my computer in it. And although I don’t get a moment to check my e-mail until I’ve finally put the twins down for their afternoon nap, I’m excited to discove...
I can’t remember exactly what I said to him, but I’m sure I must’ve sounded angry. Maybe even a little neurotic. Whatever. Right now I have other things to obsess over. Nathan called both BJ and me. First he apologized for not being able to get Laura Myers straightened out before the news hit the...
LIZ TELLS ME MONDAY MORNING. “I’M NOT QUITE sure how to explain it.” “What?” I ask, distracted by my locker, which is refusing to open. “Well, Hudson came over to my house yesterday. I wasn’t really sure why, but we just sort of hung and listened to music and talked and stuff.” I give my stubborn...
"I'm Anna Gunderson," she said cautiously. "This is my dock and my property." She felt worried. The lawyer had assured her this was her property, and had promised to send the paperwork. But what if something was wrong—what if there really was some sort of lien or something that could take it from...
I WAKE UP FEELING PERFECTLY FINE. WELL, AT LEAST physically. I still feel rotten on the inside. “How are you feeling today?” my mom asks after she cracks open my bedroom door and peeks in. I am still in bed, tired from staying up so late. “Awful,” I mutter, making my best attempt at looking sick....
ALTHOUGH IT’S AN OLDER neighborhood, it’s not a crummy one like where Jocelyn lives. And her house is actually kind of cool, a turn-of-the-century Victorian, although it’s in need of a few repairs. I’ve ridden over with Kendra, and instead of knocking she opens Sally’s door and walks right in. “H...
As if a ghost from his past had come knocking. Although he’d been careful not to mention anything too specific about Mossy to Grace, because he could tell her antennas were up and he suspected that she didn’t approve of his decision to send his old buddy packing, he had capitalized on what he hop...
Sarah was not only good help around the busy inn; she seemed to be happier, too. But as the weekend rolled along, Anna realized that Hazel would be home on Monday. “I thought you might like to move back into your old room,” she told Sarah on Sunday morning. They were cleaning up after breakfast. ...
And believe me, I was seriously depressed the following day. It was probably a good thing that I spent most of the day helping Ashley put her house back together. It probably kept me from doing something else, something totally regrettable, like ramming my car into Shawna’s.“You’re really good at...
. . [CHAPTER 4 ] . . . . . . . . . . . . I‘m shocked at how late I am able to sleep in. It’s 11:40 by the time I finally crawl out of bed, which is a personal record for me. But I can’t believe Mom hasn’t been in here to wake me up yet. That’s so not like her. Or maybe she thinks I’m still at Lo...
