Happy Thanksgiving and a short story!
My Odd Shots post…
Please forgive the late response. All my family is here and demanding my attention, not to mention my chauffeur services *sigh*. I’d be rich if I could charge for this service! Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and share a Thanksgiving story I wrote many (MANY) moons ago. Enjoy!
Something To Be Thankful For
Patrice Michelle
The bell tied to a string at the top of the glass door chimed, announcing Melanie’s entrance.
“Hello.” The dark haired man behind the counter called out.
“Hi.” She turned with a smile and approached the counter. “I’m looking for the owner, Rick Durant.”
A dimple formed in his cheek as he flashed her a bright smile. “That’d be me.”
He put his hands on the counter top and leaned forward. “What can I do for you?”
Melanie stuck out her hand. “My name’s Melanie King.
Rick clasped her hand in his. His firm grip caused a melting feeling to start in her stomach and drift all the way to her toes.
She continued, “I’m a friend of Joan Kerr’s. She sent me to you.”
“Oh?” His smile turned into a teasing grin.
