April Of Enchantment (Sweetly Contemporary Collection) - Plot & Excerpts
Laura and her mother were reading in front of a blazing fire under the Federal mantel in the sitting room when the phone rang. “You get it,” Mrs. Nichols said, looking up with a smile. “It’s probably for you anyway.” It had been a mistake to locate the upstairs extension telephone in the wide hall of the old house. Though it was central to the rooms they were using, the hallway was unheated in winter. On their budget, they simply couldn’t afford to keep any portion of the house warm that wasn’t in constant use. During the day it wasn’t so bad; the heat from the display rooms on the lower floors rose up the stairwell to remove the chill, but at night, when that source was turned off, it took a strong constitution to talk more than a few brief minutes. Russ Masters was well aware of the problem. As soon as he had said hello, he went on, “I’ll make this short and sweet, Laura, my love. I’ve just spent the last hour with Justin.” “Justin Roman?” Laura’s voice was hollow, but no more so than the pit of her stomach.
