Hi everyone –
I’m sharing another snippet from FRESH BEGINNINGS,
a story this is mainly set in the USA and follows our itinerary
when we travelled through five States in a motorhome a few years ago.
Enjoy ♥♥
This week’s Hook …
Zach, who lived across the road from the Levesque / O’Connor clan in Chestnut Avenue, had met Natasha a few years earlier at one of Mia’s sports days. Natasha used to be Mia, Olivia, and Josh’s teacher until she moved on to a different school. One lucky man that Zach was, because she wasn’t only beautiful with her now-long, black hair and dark blue eyes, but also intelligent and very kind.
Except when it came to landscaping.
Jared’s gaze moved to Sophie, who smiled at her little girl. Then he caught Mark with a big grin plastered on his face watching his wife and daughter. Blowing out a little sigh, Jared noticed out of the corner of his eye how Josh took Mia’s hand into his own.
That was it. He’d had enough. It was kind of the last drop in a full bucket. He was sick of everybody else around him being happy except him. Without a doubt, he was pleased for them, but it was time that he took matters into his own hands and got out of his daily routine. He wanted more in life than getting up in the morning and working eight to ten hours only to return to an empty home. It wasn’t necessarily that he was looking for a partner — although that would have been nice — but he looked for something in life. Something to make him more content or his life more fulfilled.
With his thoughts drifting off as he gazed into the distance, he only vaguely followed the wedding ceremony.
