Tempted in the City (2016)
“After she’d paid the nice man who ran the kiosk, she was surprised to bump into a woman she recognized. It was her neighbor on the other side. She had a red front door and a large pot of marigolds on the stoop. At least Catherine thought it was her neighbor. So many of the older women had the same outdated hairstyle, hair severely pulled back into a tight bun.
Still, Catherine smiled at her. “Good morning.”
The woman looked at her as if she was insulted by the greeting. She did give Cat...herine a brief nod, however, before she summoned an actual smile for the kiosk man. Either Catherine had been mistaken and the woman wasn’t her neighbor, or else she’d managed to alienate the entire neighborhood with all the noise. But even so, the woman could have been a little more pleasant.
Later, Catherine spent her lunch hour standing in line at yet another bakery—this time, the Lady M Boutique in Bryant Park. She knew a little bit more about what Tony liked, so she’d narrowed her choices for their dessert down to four kinds of cake.MoreLess
