Excerpt:
She picked up
the letter opener. Her heart palpitated in sheer terror as she slid the opener
under the flap of the envelope. With the envelope open, she peeped inside to
see one folded sheet of stationery.
After six
years, what could he possibly have to say?
She pictured
him, standing beside a black truck in the drive of Royal Oaks, an old estate
belonging to his grandmother. She recalled the date. June twenty-eighth. The day they had said goodbye had been a warm,
blustery day in Tennessee Nashville
The wind made a
mess of Carson
“If I’m ever
back in town, I’ll look you up,” he promised as their casual affair came to an
inevitable end. For three weeks, they had been together and finally, the time
had come for them to go their separate ways. She hadn’t realized it would be so
difficult.
“Sure.” She
forced a smile of goodwill. After all, they weren’t parting in anger, or in love for that matter. And it was unlikely
that she would ever see him again.
“I had a great
time,” she confessed boldly. She’d loved every minute of their brief, steamy affair. Talk about a summer break
to remember. She grinned.
He gave her
cheek a stroke. “You’ll make a great
doctor.”
“You think so?”
“Yeah.” He
grinned. “You certainly know all there is to know about male anatomy.”
“Yours, at
least.” She laughed. Then she hopped up on her toes and gave him a quick kiss.
“Goodbye, Carson Blackwell.”
She stepped
away from him. Now was the time to face what was ahead. A grueling three-year
residency. There would be no more time for long summer nights, tangled sheets,
and sighs against swollen lips. She walked toward her small, sturdy hatchback.
Before she opened the driver’s door, she looked up and met his gaze.
“Goodbye,” he
called.
At that moment,
she’d had an odd sensation in her chest that her life was never going to be the
same. Then she laughed at her silliness. A
summer fling with a guy just passing through was not something that changed
your life. For her, completing her residency would be the life changer.
She had watched
Carson
Never to be
seen or heard from again until now.
