Today’s Snippet

A smile spread across Jon’s as he read his neighbour’s note. Neighbour-relationship? He chuckled. Despite the seriousness behind it all, he actually enjoyed their game of writing / receiving messages. Hopefully, it was also distracting her from her worries. Only a few minutes ago he’d opened the door to the hallway, but hadn’t heard anything, but the TV.  Was he reading too much into her words? Did she think he’d complaint about the noise that made her apologise it wouldn’t happen again? Clearly, his remark that it’d broken his heart was enough indication that he was trying to lighten up the mood. Good grief, he was overthinking what was supposed to have been a little lift-me-up for his neighbour.

Should he continue?

Before he could change his mind, he wrote on a little note: Considering that we’re in a Neighbour-relationship, may I ask for your name?

Today’s Snippet

Holding out his hand, he said, “Jesse Parker. Nice meeting you.”

She looked up at him, and a slow smile spread across her face, but she ignored his hand. “Nice meeting you, too. More than nice, if I may say so. I’m Lexie and this is my daughter Zoe.”

Sliding his hand into his pants pocket, he turned to look at Zoe and said with a wink, “I’m not lecturing you, but please promise me not making a habit out of stopping strange cars.”

The girl nodded enthusiastically. “I promise.”

“Okay. Let’s get this roadkill off the road and then get you back to your car.”

Jesse helped Lexie and her daughter into the car and then slid behind the steering wheel. While he started the engine, he considered starting a conversation, but decided against it. Nothing personal, but it’d been a busy day already, and he was too tired to come up with anything to say. They drove quietly along the forest road. It didn’t take him long until he located the dead kangaroo farther up the path. Shaking his head, he knew straight away it was a hit and run incident, with the driver leaving without moving the animal. He slowed and parked in front of it.

“Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this wonderful book and fall in love.” (5 star review)

Mat is a sexy, tattooed New Zealander with a strong sense of family and duty and Tiffany is a woman with a past that continues to haunt her. Can Mat help her overcome her demons and move on with the next phase of her life? Come for the romance and stay for the breathtaking scenery. (5 star review)

4 stars – NEW BEGINNINGS is a very emotional read, one that is heartwarming as well as heart wrenching. It gives you hope in the act of human kindness and that good things do happen to good people. I highly recommend this book.

Today’s Snippet

She picked up the piece of paper, made her way to the shared hallway, and carefully slid her second note under his door. Unlike before, she snuck back to her rooms, giggling like a small girl hiding secrets from her parents. Giddiness swept across her and her body tingled when she finished her cup of tea.

Good Lord, she was desperate for a life. Small notes from a stranger had her beaming with excitement like a teenager.

She blew out a breath, again letting her mind wonder where she had gone wrong in her marriage for her husband to betray her so badly.

She glanced over to the door, but no return note was to be seen. Something like disappointment trickled through her as she sat on the couch. She placed her cup onto the table and reached for the TV remote. The movie she decided on didn’t hold her attention, though, and she lulled into a snooze.

Today’s Snippet

Jesse Parker scratched the back of his neck. The situation in front of him had so many things wrong with it. The fact that the young girl had stopped him in his car in the middle of nowhere didn’t sit well with him, but on the flipside, he was glad she had, because organising a search party wouldn’t have been on his favourite things to do for a Friday afternoon either. God only knew whether anybody would’ve noticed that they’d been gone for a while, considering they were new in town. He made a mental note to ask Melody about the two. She’d given them the directions to the Cook Waterfall carpark; he was sure she’d know a little more about them.

And then there was the mother, who despite her shortness of breath and the obvious lack of fitness looked still incredible and that did something to him, which he wasn’t sure how to handle or even interpret.

The mother. He didn’t even know her name.

She read it again. Was he flirting with her? Or showing honest concern? Had she cried that loud? Embarrassment shot through her again and it made her cry all over again. Good Lord, she was a mess. She returned to the kitchen bench and finished her tea before taking a tentative sip. Closing her eyes, she devoured the taste of the hot drink for a moment as it filled her body with a comforting warmth. How she hated to admit that her dad had been right when he’d warned her not to get involved with Darren. But she’d been head over heels in love and none of her father’s “gut feelings” had convinced her. She choked back a laugh as she remembered the many Christmases they’d spent at her parents’ home. They’d been married for over six years, happily married she thought, and each Christmas she let her dad know just how happy and successful her relationship with Darren had been. He’d climbed the promotion ladder, she’d been content in her position in the local veterinary practice, big house, big holidays, big cars … they’d had it all.

Until last week.

The subtle breeze coming through the window moved her neighbour’s note. Again, a smile formed on her lips and she reached for the notepad.

“Long story,” she muttered as she scribbled the words. “I’m sorry I broke your heart already so early in our … hmm … neighbour-relationship. It won’t happen again. I promise.”

“The lovely lady from the bakery told us about this path along the creek and towards a little waterfall. We found the waterfall, but unfortunately not the way back. The car park was not really a car park—”

The Ranger held up his hand. “Lady from the bakery?”

Lexie gave a slow nod.

“I have a good idea where your car is.” He looked at Zoe and then to Lexie again. “I’ve had a call, though, regarding a road kill which I have to check out first.”

The notion to hop into a stranger’s car was a bit worrisome and not the ideal solution, ranger or not, but it looked like the only way to get back to town.

Use GPS next time. Lesson learnt.

She knocked and returned to her part of the cabin. Still with a hint of a smile on her lips and her embarrassment fading, she headed towards the small kitchenette to find the kettle. It was time for a cup of tea and a nice movie to relax and escape her current life. She needed to get away from her thoughts, her troubles that were eating at her. As she reached for the milk out of the fridge, a subtle thumping noise from the hall shifted her attention to the door again. Another message. She grinned, placed the milk on the bench, and picked up the next note: Hmm. I’d say that’s a lie. I heard your tears and it broke my heart.

She looked back into stunning brown eyes. Brown eyes with flecks of amber in them. “My apologies. I am many things, but fit is not one of them.”

He carried a stern look now, which she wasn’t able to interpret. “Are you okay?” he asked again.

“Yes, I am.” With a smile she added. “Thanks.”

“Want to provide me a brief background story of your day and how I can help you?”

“I think the short version is that we would like to have a lift to our car.”

He nodded. “No problems. Whereabouts is your car?”

Tilting her head slightly to the side, she replied, “At the car park?”

The Ranger pinched the bridge of his nose but didn’t reply.

She suppressed a sigh. “Okay, let me try this again. I am not as useless as I’m currently coming across. Zoe…” She pointed to her daughter. “My daughter and I have only recently moved to Alinta Bay. It’s a beautiful day, so we thought it’d be perfect for exploring the area.”

“You decided,” Zoe piped, to which Lexie replied with a stern look.

Piper stood in search for a tissue box. How she hated to be here. She still couldn’t believe how she’d lost everything because of Darren. And what the hell had he done with all the money anyway? Good Lord, she wanted to punch him, preferably in his handsome face. Not only did he take all her money, no, he also sold the home from under her feet.

She glanced around the small cabin, her new home until she’d have enough money to buy a house. There weren’t enough words to express her gratitude towards Harrison who offered her this place to stay until … well until she was going to find something bigger, or at least better.

Something in the corner caught her attention. She walked over to the door, which Harrison told her lead to the shared bathroom. A little note was lying on the floor. She frowned and picked it up.

My name is Jon, I’m your cabin neighbour. Hope you are okay.

For the first time in days, a smile crossed her lips as she read it.  And she didn’t know why exactly. Possibly because there was another person in this world who cared, persisted enough to write this note. She’d heard the knock but hadn’t felt like talking to anybody. Reading the note again, she reached for the tissues on the shelf next to the door. Suddenly, an idea formed in her head, and she now searched for a piece of paper.

A few minutes later she stood at other side of the hall and slid her own note underneath the door: Thank you Jon. I appreciate your concern. I’m good.

She knocked and returned to her part of the cabin.

His deep chuckle invaded her senses with its warmth and did something to her. And it’d been a while since a man had stirred something inside her, not since … she pushed the thought of her husband away, as well as the flutter in her stomach, trying to deal with the problem at hand.

“I got us lost,” she finally conceded.

Raising his brows, he opened his mouth, but closed it again, looking over at Zoe. “Okay, so one thing after the other. I hope you know that waving down a car can be dangerous.”

“Please don’t lecture her,” Lexie said, still gasping for air. “I will do that in due time later on, but at the moment, she deserves a medal, because…” She huffed. “Because we were lost.”

Lexie met his gaze dead on, acutely aware of the momentary silence between them. Again, she had to push the flutter in her stomach away by closing her eyes for a brief second or two.

“Mum.”

Eyes wide now, she turned to Zoe. “What?”

“The Ranger asked you a question.”
