The Tide: Breakwater (Tide Series book 2)
“She’d heard something just beyond it, and she leaned against the wooden door to see if she could catch it again.
Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.
Maybe it was a mouse. She smiled to herself, remembering the mouse she’d found in a flowerpot on the back deck when she was eight. She never understood how other people could be so frightened of such a tiny, furry little animal with its sad-looking black eyes and round Dumbo ears.
