So she’d sat through hours of tortured-weepy characters and listened as her friend recounted each reason she should beg George to come back.
“Paige?” Hillary’s voice came through the speaker. “Why aren’t you at the bakery? Isn’t this your day to see Adam?”
A smile curved her lips. Hillary was the only one that she ever talked to about her crush on Adam VonBrandt.
She’d followed Meg from Baltimore to Somewhere six years ago to learn the skills she needed to open her own bakery.
“Somebody goofed and scheduled me off today. I’m going in after I watch the sunrise. I just wanted to check on you and make sure you hadn’t caved.”
Her friend sighed. “Nope. No caving. George is not the right man for me, and I deserve better.”
“Yes, you do.”
“Go watch your sunset and then drool over your obsession. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Bye, girl.” Paige tapped the red button on the bottom of her phone screen and shoved the cell back into her pocket.
She wasn’t supposed to ever have Friday’s off. Meg and Berg both knew this, but every once in a while it did happen.
Since she didn’t have to show up for prep-time, she could enjoy her favorite spot out by the creek on the back of her property and watch the sun rise over the pines.
When her Granny Lewis passed away years ago, the sweet old woman left a huge chunk of change for all five of her granddaughters. Paige had used hers to buy part of what she’d always wanted—a farm. The rest of the inheritance was safely tucked away in a bank until she was ready to start her own bakery. But since seeing Adam VonBrandt had become the highlight of her week, she’d had no motivation to push forward to the next bullet point of her life plan.
Paige opened the back door and took a deep breath of the nippy November air.
There was enough light to see by, so she left the flashlight on the table next to the door and stepped out into the cold. She zipped up her coat and headed down the path she’d worn into the ground from her back door to the big rock next to the creek. It was about a ten-minute walk.
Paige slowed her pace as she came to the edge of the clearing where she liked to spend her mornings off.
The sound to two people moaning floated in the air and Paige’s eyes widened.
She ducked behind a tree and held her breath. Her rock was already occupied this morning —by a
very
naked couple.
Holy crap!
A few moments passed. The moaning had stopped.
She peeked around the pine tree trunk and froze. The people were…changing into—? That couldn’t be right. The air shimmered around them, like the shine on a soap bubble.
Paige blinked and rubbed her eyes. When she looked again, there were no people. The bubble had popped and only two silvery gray wolves stood where the people had been. It couldn’t be real… She held her breath and waited.
The wolves hadn’t seen her, and she watched them trot off away from her. She waited until they were long out of sight and hopefully out of hearing, then turned around and walked straight back to her house.
That pot of soup she’d made for dinner last night was going into the trash. Someone at the market had to have given her some bad mushrooms or something, because she’d just hallucinated for the first time in her life. What a trip.
Paige turned toward the barn. Casper needed breakfast before she dumped out her leftover veggie soup. Then she could head in to town a little early. Some time in the kitchen would help clear her head.
