Gifts Of Honor: Starting From Scratch\Hero's Homecoming - Plot & Excerpts
Lucy had known the racket of dragging suitcases down the wooden stairs would bring Coe running. Though he didn’t live at the garage he often worked late, and she’d suspected that tonight of all nights, Christmas Eve, he was going to hang around in case she got lonely and needed someone to talk to. She wished he hadn’t bothered. The last thing she wanted to do now was talk. “You know what they say—this town ain’t big enough for the both of us.” Unlocking her car, she hauled the trunk open and wrestled the heavy case in. Coe, damn him, refused to help, instead crossing his arms as if physically restraining himself from going to her. “I can’t stay here another day, Coe. It’s killing me.” “I never thought I’d see you punk out.” His rough sigh left a vapor trail in the chilly winter night. “And on Christmas too. You’re not getting your presents of spark plugs and motor oil.” “And I was really looking forward to them too.”
