Linger (2014)
“A weathered wooden sign with FOLSOM FARMS carved into it arched overhead, the posts gnarled, rough, and looking almost as though they had grown right out of the ground.
At the end of the rutted lane, with one hand on the pricey wine for safety, Scarlett pulled up in front of the large house that would be her home for the next year. Her mouth fell open slightly as she climbed from the car and got a good look at the structure . . . and at the massive dog lying on the front porch, an animal th...at was hairy and gray and nearly as big as she was.
The dog lifted his head, looked at her, and returned to his nap. Scarlett smiled, amused, and looked back at the house.
Made of the same rough wood as the front gate, the house wasn’t as big as it had seemed at first glance. But almost the entire front of the building was made of glass—windows that stretched floor to ceiling—and the way the glass reflected the setting sun and the blazing sky cast an optical illusion, making things seem more open than they really were.MoreLess
