Twelve Dates of Christmas: the Ballad of Lula Jo (Lonesome Point)
“He stood staring at the door for several long moments, sweat beading on his lip despite the unusually cold Texas night. He was even more nervous than he’d been this morning. He’d had eight long hours to stress about this second meeting, beating himself up for being such a fool and wondering if he was crazy for thinking Lula could forgive a man who’d been missing in action for over a decade.
He’d decided to spill the entire crazy story as soon as possible, but when Lula answered the door in a pa...ir of khaki pants and a gray-green sweater that dropped past her hips, all his words drifted away.
In the casual clothes, with her hair loose around her shoulders and her make-up free face peering up at him in the soft light of the antique street lamps, she looked like she had when they’d first met. When she was twenty and in the middle of her first year as a business owner and he was a cocky twenty-two-year-old, embarking on his first solo treasure hunt.
