I'm so grateful to you for choosing to read this short story. This is just the beginning of my series, and I hope you enjoyed it enough to become one of my lifelong readers. I have many more stories, in this series and in others, to share with you.
As always, I would be nothing—or at least very, very sad— without my dad, my husband, my children, my dog, my in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, colleagues, and friends.
Thanks to my CP Melissa and my Swoon Squad friends Vera and Kathy for taking a look at a draft of this and for your input. And thank you, my editor, Kayla Robichaux of Hot Tree Editing, for polishing it up on such short notice, and for boosting my confidence, again.
For my mom, Grandma Rosie, and all the others praying for me and waiting for me in Heaven. Miss you.
To God, thank you.
