He traveled 3,800 miles to be alone
…but is it what he really wants?
Relocating to Alaska after a family tragedy seemed an ideal way for author R.D. “Mac” Macleod to grieve in peace. But solitude feels overrated when Mac’s around B&B owner Ursula Anderson and her orphaned goddaughter, Rory, who’s already bonding with his dog. Worse, he’s imagining a future with Ursula and Rory. Is it time to finally forgive himself?
EXCERPT:
They played on, the tip of Rory’s tongue peeking from the corner of her mouth as she memorized the positions of all the cards. At the end of the game, she was the clear winner with fourteen matches. Ursula had four and Mac had eight.
“Wow.” Ursula shuffled the cards. “I don’t know how you remembered where all those cards were hiding.”
Mac smiled. “Amazing, isn’t it? Andi used to beat me regularly when she was this age. Must be something about a young mind and visual memory.”
“Who’s Andi?” Rory asked. “You talked about her before.”
Mac’s heart tightened, but he kept smiling for Rory’s sake. “My daughter, Andrea. Everyone called her Andi for short.”
“Rory is short for Aurora,” Rory explained.
“Aurora is a beautiful name.”
“Does Andi live in your house?”
“No.” Mac sucked in a slow breath. Ursula was watching him with sympathetic eyes. “Andi died.”
The corners of Rory’s mouth turned downward. “Do you miss her?”
Mac nodded. “Every day.”
“My mom and dad died, too. And my grandma.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I miss them, too.” Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “Ursula says it’s okay to be sad sometimes because you miss people, but they don’t want you to be sad all the time. They want you to be happy, ’cause they love you. Laughing makes angels happy. And even though you can’t see them anymore, you can still love each other.”
“Yes.” It was all Mac could choke out.
Rory slipped off her chair and came to hug him. “We can be sad together.”
Tears now flowed freely from Ursula’s eyes. Blossom got up from the rug where she’d been lying to push her head between Mac and Rory and lick Rory’s tears away. Rory giggled. “Blossom says we should stop crying.”
Mac stroked the dog’s head. “She’s probably right.”
Ursula reached for a box of tissues and everyone took a moment to blow noses and wipe cheeks. Rory settled into her chair at the table. “Do you want to play again?”
“Okay.” Mac began laying out the cards. “But this time I’m going to win.”
