She’d told Poh-poh she was on her way to the Jamieson farm—which wasn’t a complete lie, since she was heading there straight after—then slipped out with her loaded backpack.The Good Fortune was a few doors down the street and she didn’t want her family seeing her. She parked Daniel’s car in the tiny lot next to the shop, out of sight of the main thoroughfare. He’d lent it to her grudgingly, and only after Poh-poh had badgered him to be a good big brother and help his little sister out. It was good of him, considering how harsh she’d been last night. She shouldn’t have goaded him about his girlfriend or their future together. She should have been supportive and told him she was happy for him, but the misanthrope in her had insisted on pointing out the flaws in his plan. She supposed that was what came out of years of never being praised by her family. Not that it was an excuse.The bell above the door jangled as she entered the shop. It was quiet before noon—a lot of folks were still in church.
