All I Ever Wanted (2013)
“Roses and a profusion of flowers snaked around the house. Two elms stood sentinel on either side of the large yard. A block away to the left lived Ruth Grayson. To the right was Morgan and his wife, Phoenix. Naomi didn’t think it was by accident that the two oldest sons lived near their mother.
Getting out of the car, Naomi went up the curved walkway bordered by liriope and daisies. On the wide porch was a wheelbarrow with dark purple petunias trailing over the side. She rang the doorbell.
... The door opened. She was caught off guard when Luke, tall and imposing with his hair hanging straight down his broad shoulders, answered the door. Unlike the signing when he had greeted them, he wasn’t smiling. Again, she got the impression that somehow she might have unwittingly hurt Catherine’s feelings.
“Hi, Naomi.”
“Hi, Luke.”
“Come on in. Cath is on the phone with her mother.”MoreLess
