Devlin's Grace
““Are you warm enough, babe?” he asked.
“I’m fine,” she said, snuggling against him. She timed their arrival so they’d miss the opening ceremonies, something she usually enjoyed. But Gracie feared the salute to veterans, the national anthem, and the raising of the flag over the park might trigger memories for Devlin so she made sure they avoided it. “Let’s grab some coffee,” he said. “I’m hungry.”
At the little bakery near the entrance they shared some sweets and sipped coffee. They were exq...uisite, rich and just out of the oven. As Gracie broke off a piece of cinnamon roll, she watched Devlin as he devoured his apple Danish. His shoulders were relaxed and since he’d gotten a few hours of sleep, his eyes were clear, not bloodshot. When he noticed her gaze, he grinned at her, the good mood he’d awakened in still intact.
“So what do you want to do?” he asked. “It was your idea to come here.”
She picked it because all her memories of Silver Dollar City were pleasant. It’d always been a peaceful place, more the way the world should be than the realities. Gracie couldn’t think of anything past the opening ceremonies with the possibility to trigger bad memories.MoreLess
