Same thing happens when you don’t love, only you starve to death on the inside instead of the outside. “Well, last time I checked, if you don’t eat, you starve to death. “Then explain to me how eating even comes close.”īerry leaned against the bins. You can’t compare loving someone to what you like to eat.” “And how many times did you have to eat those before you figured it out?” “How many times did you have to eat’em before you figure out you didn’t like ’em?” “‘Cause you’ve only known each other for a few weeks?” “There’s no way for me to know that yet.” “Then I’d say maybe this time you got it right.” “Did what you have before feel anything like what you have now?” But I’ve been wrong before.” And it almost got me killed and still might put me in prison. “You need two by sixes or two by eights? You didn’t specify on your list.” He shook his head at me and continued down the aisle to the back wall where plastic bins were stacked with every kind of joist bracket known to man. I counted the two by sixes, all the while Berry stared. “We’ve only known each other for a few weeks.” Because I’d done my damnedest to avoid him. I counted the two by fours stacked on the shelf to my right. I don’t know why that was so easy to believe. I’m sure he’ll get tired of me.”īerry stopped so fast I almost ran over him.
“I suppose.” How did two words feel so incomplete? A future Morgan wasn’t a part of.īerry held open the door to the outside lumberyard.
Were they? I had my island picked out, my plans of a nice little place with a perfect oceanfront view and sunsets over clear blue water. “So, I guess things are pretty serious between you and Morgan.”
And once Grant opens his eyes, he loses his heart to the beautiful enigma of a man who changes the course of his life. Then Morgan shows Grant how light lets you see but it also leaves you blind. Like the rest of the world he can’t see past Morgan’s odd behaviors While the attraction is mutual, Grant pushes Morgan away.
And when Grant Kessler moves into town Morgan isn’t a bit shy in letting the man know how much he wants him. Yet he’s beaten every obstacle life has thrown his way. Severely autistic, Morgan cannot look people in the eye, tell left from right, and has uncontrolled tics. But his real plan is to wait a few years and let the FBI lose interest, then move on to the distant coastal life he’s always dreamed of. When business turns in a direction Grant isn’t willing to follow he decides to retire and by all appearances he settles down in a nowhere town called Durstrand. For years Grant Kessler has smuggled goods from one end of the world to the next.
