Rum Cake Murder: a Frosted Love Cozy Mystery - book 8 (Frosted Love Cozy Mysteries)
“Snapping the lead onto the loving animal’s collar, Missy walked her to the park and back in a daze, worried sick about Ben. She knew that Chas would call her as soon as he was done at the hotel, but the waiting seemed endless.Mechanically, Missy prepared dinner, despite a profound lack of appetite. At this point, she was on automatic pilot, falling back into routine because her thought process was numbed with worry. Stirring a cup of gumbo around and around with her spoon, taking small tastes periodically as she stared into space, she waited for the phone to ring. Eventually, giving in and dumping the untasted portion back into her gumbo pot, she acknowledged that until she had some news, trying to eat was a waste of time and food.Taking her phone with her, just in case, Missy ran a warm bath, hoping that it would calm her nerves and help her focus, and, although she knew that it was probably not a smart idea on an empty stomach, she poured a glass of mellow Merlot to sip while she bathed.
