\n\"Desire<\/a>Desire Me Again<\/strong><\/em>
\nBlurb for Second Chance<\/strong>:
\nSandy Henderson had been a sweet, wholesome girl in her first year of college, sure of herself and totally in love with her high school sweetheart, Tom Pritchard. Then something happened that shattered her dreams, her confidence, her will to live. When she meets Tom again many years later, she resists taking a chance on love because of her secret, but Tom won\u2019t give up on her. On them. Or will he, once she tells him about her past?<\/p>\n

\"MFRWExcerpt:
\n<\/strong>The sun had just set when Sandy carried their tea to the dark porch. Keeping the porch light out would at least make a cursory effort at keeping the mosquitoes at bay.<\/p>\n

Tom stood when she came out and he relieved her of one of the glasses. In the July heat, condensation would soon coat the glass as the ice melted. At least a breeze blessed the evening air. Kids road their bikes up and down the street, but as darkness became thicker, mothers\u2019 voices called them home. Fireflies inundated the yard, their tails flashing on and off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI miss fireflies. They don\u2019t have them in the Northwest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReally? I didn\u2019t know that. How long have you lived there?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI moved to Milford about five years ago. It\u2019s a small town but it has a college, so I finally graduated.\u201d She propped her bare feet on the edge of the chair.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s good. I\u2019m about to finish my MBA, though I hardly need it to run the hardware store.\u201d<\/p>\n

She sipped the tea, feeling the sugar rush from the simple syrup she\u2019d added to the pitcher. While in Idaho she\u2019d gotten used to unsweetened tea, but she\u2019d have to start making the sweetened variety again once her mom lived with her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what you\u2019re doing, running your dad\u2019s store? Do you like it?\u201d<\/p>\n

She felt more than saw Tom\u2019s shrug. \u201cNot especially. But Dad needed to work less and Joey won\u2019t graduate from State until next spring. He and Dad have always been closer than Dad and I, and I think the plan had always been for him and Joey to work the store together. As far as I know, that\u2019s still the plan. I\u2019ll be able to change course then, though God knows what I\u2019ll do. What do you<\/em> do in this small town where you live?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI teach second grade. Of all the careers I considered growing up, teaching was way far down on the list. But I\u2019ve found I love it.\u201d She might have said that teaching was bottom<\/em> of the list, but she\u2019d since discovered that there were far worse jobs.<\/p>\n

She snuck a glance at Tom and found his grin facing her. \u201cWhat?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more surprised if you\u2019d said stripper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandy lurched forward, her feet hitting the decking as her drink fell from her hands, shattering the glass Tea spattered across her bare feet and up her shins.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! I hope I didn\u2019t get any of it on you,\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cDarn glass got slippery.\u201d She started to stand when Tom slapped his hand across her forearm.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay where you are. With the light out you won\u2019t see the glass. Where\u2019s the broom?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBehind the back door. My sneakers are back there, too. Can you bring them?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure. Stay here.\u201d He disappeared into the house.<\/p>\n

Sandy took a shuddering breath. She would<\/em> stay there, and give her heart a chance to stop racing.<\/p>\n
