Moondance Beach
“His birthplace was many things, but subtle was not one of them.
He heard the breath of the surf and the chime of sailboat halyards down at the new marina. He felt expensive cotton sheets cool against his skin. And right on schedule, nature’s alarm clock began to chime—the mellow baseline of their local horned owl combined with the never-ending twittering of a northern mockingbird perched on a turret outside the open window.
After only a week, that little fucker was really starting to get on his... nerves.
With eyes still closed, from his fancy third-floor guest suite at the Safe Haven Bed and Breakfast, Duncan decided to deduce the time, right down to the minute. It was one of many contests he would have with himself that day, just one more measure of his progress. Was he getting quicker? Stronger? More observant? As it turned out, the game was too easy that morning. It had to be a Saturday between zero five fifty and zero five sixty, because Mellie’s freshly baked berry scones were about to come out of the oven the way they did every Saturday morning.MoreLess
