Carly's Gift (2013)
“She’d been home a week and had slipped back into her routine with such comparative ease she was finding it hard to believe that seven days ago she’d been on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Ethan had been in a surprisingly good mood when he’d met her at the airport, welcoming her with open arms, acting as if the trip had been his idea. And now here she was facing a Thursday morning identical to hundreds of others she’d had over the years, cleaning the kitchen, making beds, and waiting ...for her mother to stop by for a cup of coffee on her way to pick up groceries.
If not for the lingering feeling of loss, she could almost convince herself the trip had been a figment of her imagination.
While she luxuriated in remembering her time with Andrea, whenever thoughts of David arose, Carly did everything she could to put them to the back of her mind. Sometimes it worked, more often it didn’t.
She’d never believed it was better to have loved and lost.MoreLess
