At Wick's End (Book 1 in the Candlemaking Mysteries)
“Eve said as I finished neatening the display of tea lights on the counter.
“I wish you could,” I said.
“Pardon me?”
“It’s an old acquaintance of mine,” I admitted. “And she’s not here to shop for candles.”
“I understand,” Eve said, though clearly she didn’t. Heck, I didn’t get it myself. Why was Becka suddenly trying to get back into my life? The breakup had been final, at least from her end of things.

One thing was certain—I knew better than anyone else that it was time to move forward and not back. The last thing I needed in my life at that moment was a walk down that particular memory lane.
Becka rushed to embrace me when I walked toward her, but she must have gotten the hint when I didn’t return her enthusiasm.
