EXCERPT
As he clasped her to his chest, the steady beat of Trace’s big heart finally began to calm her. It thumped strong and solid, just the way she remembered.
They stood that way, her cheek to his chest, for aeons—or at least a split second—until she finally gained a measure of control and pushed herself lightly away. “I still can’t believe it’s you.”
“I’m an idiot,” he said. “I’ve missed you. All these years—”
“No,” Laynie shook her head. “Don’t say that.” She cleared the stupid tears collecting in the back of her throat and managed to get herself around the end of the counter so that it was physically between them.
Trace ducked
his head and rubbed the edge of his thumb along the corner of his mouth, a
small gesture she knew well, which meant he was contemplating what to say
next.
Keeping herself carefully out of his reach, Laynie said, “I’m closing up now.” She pulled the door open, surprised as a big gust of cold air shivered its way inside, setting the red bubble hearts away.
She aimed her key fob at the Jeep and started the engine. Opening the shop door hadn’t been necessary, but her mind was scattered, running on instinct.
She needed him to go, but she wanted him to stay. Wanted him to somehow turn back time. Turn back the years to the Trace he’d been before the tragedy that had changed all their lives. Back to the Trace she’d loved and lost.

Ann’s
stories began to win awards in her college days. Since then she’s published
novels, novellas, and short stories. But even if no one ever bought another

sometimes-crazy world. Most of the time, it even keeps her sane.
