from FEARLESS SUMMER
The store’s owner glanced over the reading glasses perched on
her nose. “Morning, Henry. What brings you here?”
I scanned the shop. I couldn’t quite say I was searching for a safe
place to hide and calm my raging nerves. “Hi, Susan. I need a book for Mom.
She likes those beach romance books. Got anything new?”
Taking off her glasses, she nodded and came around the counter.
“I’ve got just the thing. It’s set right here, a second-chance romance.”
