A Simple Autumn: a Seasons of Lancaster Novel
“It would be a good night to court a girl on a nice long buggy ride.
But not for Gabe.
The girl he wanted to court was out on this dark road, walking home in the orange moonlight.
Emma was part of the reason he kept Mercury moving so slowly. He figured if he squinted into the darkness he might find Emma hiding behind a fence post or walking primly, shoulders back and head so high and even that she could balance a book on top of it.
He missed her. It hadn’t even been a week since ...she’d ended everything with him, but watching her get baptized, and seeing her across the barn at the singing, felt wrong.
And this was their time—late Sunday, after a singing. This was the time when he picked her up along the side of the road and they talked and laughed and sat close under the stars.
If he closed his eyes he could imagine the sweet, soapy smell of her neck and the luster of the soft moonlight on her lips.MoreLess
