She pulled out her cell and punched in their number, one of the few she knew by heart and the absolute easiest to dial.
Listening to the stir of the trees, the chatter of birds as they flew in and out, the bubble of the fountain. This was an enchanted spot, justification in and of itself for the price of the townhouse....
He shot her a dry, sidelong glance. The phones started
He didn't look as much like a user as a man who had lost someone near and dear. She let it go. Wasn't that the lesson of the week? Anger accomplished nothing. Denial was a crutch.

Clients. They’re always there. You do have to worry, and look at the practice you’ve built. Give me a rundown on today’s list. Casey could count on Brianna to boost her morale. Two phobias, the low se...
You’ll always be with me, Mom. Kind of like Jordan’s perennials. Every year, something’ll bloom in my life to remind me of you. It’ll always be different, never the same, but it’ll be good. Love lasts...
