In the quiet heart of southwestern Wyoming, a small town clings
to its small-town ways. But when a sudden boom brings big money and
bigger secrets, what’s left of the town they thought they knew?
As
usual, I want to than Malady for beta reading, and helping edit.
I'd
also like to thank those who comment for their part in beta reading
too! :-)
Chapter
3
Fran
knocked on the door to Millie Brooks’ office. It was getting later
in the day, and most of the office staff had left. Another blizzard
was expected and after the one the night before, everyone wanted to
be home before it got nasty out.
“Come
in!” Fran heard from inside.
She
opened the door and strode in. She had called earlier, wanting
someone on whom she could dump. Millie had taken on a motherly role
soon after Fran had moved to town, for which Fran was grateful. Her
relationship with Trevor had been up and down for several years, and
after the talk that morning, she had found it hard to concentrate on
things.
She
made a beeline for the couch across from the desk, and flopped down,
folding her arms defensively in front of her.
She
sat there for a moment while Millie finished off something she’d
been working on.
