Pennyroyal and Peppermint
Mary had not expected any of this. She had feared it, especially in early June, when the breathless rumors were running rampant. But as the days passed, and the rumors came to naught, Mary believed that this summer would pass just as every other summer had before it.
After all, what could the Rebels possibly want in a town like Gettysburg?
Witamy
Annie met Derek far from home, during one of the worst weeks of her life. And she’s glad she did, because he has become one of her favorite friends. (He’s attractive too, but that’s really neither here nor there.) When she discovers that he’ll be alone for Christmas, she takes a chance and invites him to Christmas dinner with her family.
Remember
Every life is a tapestry of memories, and if you’re lucky, you share them with people who love you.
Vigil
It is late at night at St. Bridget’s Hospital, and three women are awaiting the birth of a baby.
Aloha
Everyone Annie knew—siblings, parents, friends—had tried to talk her out of doing this. It was crazy, they said. It was going to be too difficult for her. She was going on the honeymoon for a canceled wedding, and people don’t do that, for very good reasons.
“But I do,” she had declared, “I do that. And it’s not a honeymoon, it’s an ‘alone-y moon’.”
Underneath her bravado, though, she was scared. Until now, she had been certain about where she was going in life, and who she was going with; but that certainty had vanished.
