The Sweetest September (Home In Magnolia Bend) - Plot & Excerpts
Inside, he quaked as much as Shelby did. Outside, he maintained a semblance of control. Like always. Shelby was pregnant with his baby. Or at least she said she was. The irony of the situation rubbed him, bitter and biting. Rebecca’s desire for the pitter-patter of little feet had been a driving force in their marriage for the past year of her life. With her death, the thought of children ceased to exist. And now, he’d gotten what he’d once desired so greatly...at the hands of a drunken hookup in a crappy bathroom off Hwy 5. God had a sense of humor. Or maybe he didn’t. Maybe God liked to sucker punch John for the hell of it. He pulled the screen door open, holding it with his boot as he turned the century-old iron doorknob and pushed inside. His yellow Lab sat, tongue lolling, ready to greet him. “Down, Bart.” John pushed the hairy beast with the generous kisses off his thigh and walked inside the cool darkness of the living room, turning right and escorting Shelby toward the kitchen.
