Excerpt
“How about a truce?” Micah’s goading expression had transformed to one of repentance. Sort of.
“I didn’t realize we were at war.”
His eyes crinkled at the edges. A blinking light on the desk phone caught his notice. He nodded at the front door. “I bet it’s a madhouse out there with the parade coming.” Holding the handset to his ear, he pressed a button on the phone’s base.
Hayley slunk down the final steps. Her red flannel shirt looked like it’d been filched from Paul Bunyan’s closet. And an oversized sweatshirt was tied loosely around her waist, as though it could slip off any moment, tangle her legs, and send her plunging to her death. Adding to the likeliness of that scenario, her focus lay on digging through her schoolbag.
I clenched my keys in my hand. She knew the dangers of not paying attention when going down stairs. I’d created a song that we sang together when at the age of four, she’d insisted on taking the stairway on her own from our second-floor residence above the café. “Hold the railing, look with your eyes, then there won’t be a tumbling surprise.”
“Looks like I missed your call,” Micah said.
I blinked back to the present. “What?”
His athletic body hunched over the phone, listening intently.
Oh no. The rambling voice mail I’d left for Mrs. Gail.
My stomach plummeted. I scowled at Hayley, who moved like an inmate walking to the electric chair. I headed for the front door and opened it, hoping to elicit a quicker stride from my niece. “See you around.” I’d tossed the hasty farewell over my shoulder, one foot out the door.
“Kate,” Micah called from behind.
I stilled. Hayley crossed the threshold, nearly dragging her book bag, the straps brushing over my feet, gathering a million germs.
He lowered the phone, mischief twinkling in his emerald eyes. “My sister swears by Advil and Pop-Tarts.”
I held in a breath in timing with two beats from the wall clock. “Thank you.” My tone relayed two different words: shove it. I flipped the sign on the door to Closed and left.
