Softer Than Steel (A Love & Steel Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
The traffic out to Brooklyn had moved at the speed of sloths, cramping Rick’s long legs within the confines of Kat’s borrowed Mini Cooper, and now it had taken him a dizzying walk through a labyrinth of graves to try to find the Banquet family plot. This isn’t about your convenience, he reminded himself as random raindrops began to darken the path and decorate the tops of the tombstones. This isn’t about your comfort at all. It’s the least you can do. The early summer shower turned to a soaker just as he spotted the pink granite marker in a sea of white and gray. He stopped in his tracks, eyes falling out of focus for a moment. The only thing that kept him tethered to the here and now was the cool drench, plastering his shirt to his skin. He felt the material strain and shrink with each breath he took. Focus. Breathe. Walk. It took him seven small steps to reach Simone’s grave. He remembered the seven pauses the processional had made, from hearse to burial site.
