Her Charming Heartbreaker
“She tried to ignore the little tug low in her belly, but as she locked her car and took a step toward the pub, her heart gave a jolting thump as if warning her of imminent disaster if she didn’t turn around.
She looked down one end of the main street and then the other and then she spotted Theo looking into the store window of what used to be the local knitting wool and quilting supply store. It had exchanged hands a few years back but the new owners hadn’t managed to settle into the humdrum ex...istence of Eden, and so they’d moved on. Twelve months down the track and the place remained empty, which made her wonder what Theo could find so enthralling.
Do yourself a favor and keep walking, she told herself. She shrugged and turned back toward the pub but only got as far as the main entrance. Stopping again, she looked up and imagined raising a fisted hand in defiance of whatever evil being was pulling her strings and having a laugh at her expense.
She crossed the street, her pace slow enough for her to come to her senses.MoreLess
