Saturday's Excerpt – Breaking Free

 Even though they’d spent only a short time together, it had been comfortable. Izzy was easy to talk to and her presence was relaxing. She seemed eager to settle into Beacher and Katelyn would help her make that transition a pleasant one if Izzy wanted her to. 

Stop it! She commanded her mind as it began imagining all sorts of scenarios. She bit her bottom lip. Just because Izzy was new in town and obviously unattached gave Katelyn no reason to assume the woman was a lesbian just because Katelyn’s mind tried to will her to be so. Izzy had given her no reason to assume she was gay. She hadn’t mentioned anyone coming to Beacher with her and had seemed eager to accept Katelyn’s invitation. Of course, there could be many reasons why she’d come alone. Perhaps a companion would be joining her later.

Saturday's Excerpt – Behind Closed Doors

 A loud knock on her door caused her heart to leap into her throat. She peered cautiously through the peephole and recognized Karl’s ruddy face. He had someone with him, but she couldn’t make out any details. Maybe it was a trap. Had someone tailed Karl and found out that he could lead them to her? She didn’t want to open the door. Maybe he had a gun to his back. She glanced over her shoulder. She had no way of escaping. Was this going to be how it all ended? She briefly closed her eyes, saying a silent prayer and then flung the door open. 

Karl stepped aside, ushering the stranger inside, then quickly shut and bolted the door. He removed his trench coat and hung it on the hook next to Kera’s jacket. He was dressed as usual in a suit. The gray shade seemed to match the gray sky. His broad shoulders filled out the suit jacket. His pleasant round face looked fatigued.
