Blurb
A devastated Heather Stone is driving eight hundred miles to
cry on her sister’s shoulder, after her boyfriend of three years has dumped
her.
He needed space!
Our sex life is boring! You need
to find the passion that’s been lost!
“Well, screw you!” she yells, just as her overheated car,
pings, coughs, and shudders to a stop on a deserted road by the Arizona eastern
border. Could anymore happen to
her? She grabs her purse and starts
walking. The sign Dugan’s Creek, leads
her to an oasis of lush foliage and rushing water to cool off her blistered
feet.
The sun starts to set and Heather is thinking this might not
have been the smartest move. Moving
shadows and night sounds from the brush lets Heather know she isn’t alone at
Dugan’s Creek.
Excerpt
“Space?”
Heather asked slowly.
“Look…”
Steve stopped, running his hand through his hair. “Yea - space.”
“No,
please,” Heather said, folding her arms across her chest, “continue with what
you were going to say.”
Steve
plopped down on the Ethan Alan black leather, no-armed straight back chair.
“It’s us, Heather. We’ve been together
for more than three years and…and, well it’s just not fun anymore.”
She
took her Liz Claiborne suit jacket off and carefully hung it on a dining room
chair. “Well excuse me if one of us
needs to play the part of an adult.”
“Christ,
Heather, we never go out. This is
October! We have had to back out of 2
different Halloween parties because you have unexpected obligations. Don’t you remember our plan? I was going as the werewolf and you were
going to be Little Red Riding Hood?” He
watched as her face turned angry.
“Couldn't you just tell them, 'Sorry, I’ve got plans?”
“Not if I want to get somewhere in this
company! I thought you were with me on
this?” She started
pacing. “It’s all make believe, Steve. It used to be fun to pretend, but we have to grow up. You…you have to grow up!”
pacing. “It’s all make believe, Steve. It used to be fun to pretend, but we have to grow up. You…you have to grow up!”
