Hollywood Beginnings (A Novella) - Plot & Excerpts
Brian didn't find it surprising someone remembered her Hollywood catering days. She'd made a mean potato salad. For a few minutes, he listened, shook some hands, and got the guy's email address. He'd stored the recipes somewhere, keeping them helped him remember her good days. And there were, mixed into his mother's struggles, some happy times too. But every minute he stood there talking, Amy got farther away. He'd watched her take the side exit with her mother, and he couldn't lose them. There were things he needed to say, probably to both of them, but first things first, and first was Amy. He'd have to approach her carefully, with the finesses of taking a jump shot. He could see she'd been bruised by somebody. Divorced, he'd guess, but not derailed. That's what a lifetime of love had done for her. It showed on her face, how easily her emotions ran from irritation to amusement and back. But nothing seemed to rock that solid core she wore as well as the silky dress he'd practically memorized during the service.
