She was quite skilled at it, but I’d spent more time untangling the yarn than actually getting it around the needle point. I held up my project. “It looks more like a spider web than a scarf.” Finley’s phone had buzzed several times during our knitt...
“According to Hayden, who works at the grain and feed store and who is best friends with Finn’s sister’s workmate, Sally, who I can’t stand, by the way, Finn was released with a bump on the head and nothing more. Thank goodness. I only wish he’d be at Rotten Apples tonight to see me in this outfi...
Even if it was just to hold her naked in my arms. Her side of the bed was empty, and from the coolness of the sheets, it seemed she hadn’t been next to me for awhile.
