CHAPTER THIRTEEN

The next morning June arose refreshed, but restless. She walked Laddie downtown to grab a quick cup of coffee and to check in at the Library. While it was good to be home, she didn’t want to stay in Hayville forever. She knew that now. She was ready to start a new life, and Hayville, as much as she had loved the small town she had called home for a quarter century, this place represented her past. As they walked into the library, Debra, the librarian, called out a greeting. “Well, about time you came back. Are you ready to be on the schedule? We’ve missed you.”

Now that she was there, June hesitated. She didn’t know. Any commitment to stay was not appealing.

“Can I let you know in a few days? I’m not sure of my plans right now. I need to talk to my realtor.”

“Sure, no problem. Let me know when you are ready.”

Even now, almost five years after her divorce, she still received those pitying glances when she walked around town. The five years of seeing Ed and Courtney at all of her daughters’ school events had never ceased to be torture. At least now that Alexis was off to college, she no longer had to submit herself to that constant hurt and humiliation. Oh, she had thought about dating over the past five years, but dating prospects in Hayville were severely limited, to say the least. That is unless you counted old Mr. Shaffer at the Shell station. He had to be at least 80, but had become friendlier since the news of her divorce. There was Tommy Cartwright, who at age 55 still worked in his parents store and had never married. Knowing him it wasn’t hard to imagine why. Yep, Hayville, definitely wasn’t the place to embark on her new single life.

June and Laddie continued on their usual three-mile loop and then headed back home. Had it gotten more humid in Hayville? Or maybe, it was just that her heart still ached for that little Colorado town and the cool mountain air.

Returning to the house, June grabbed the phone. “Hello is this Carole? This is June Meyers.”

“Oh yes, June. I have good news. I have a young couple who are very interested in your house. The husband accepted a job offer in Mound City. They really want to live in a smaller community for their two young children. I think they are going to make an offer soon. They want to be settled before the holidays. They would like to close by the first of November. Is that a problem for you?”

Less than a month away. Could she pack up a whole lifetime in less than a month? And where would she go? What about her kids who would be counting on coming home for Thanksgiving and Christmas? All of a sudden, it all got too real. She felt panic start to bubble up inside her.

“Can I think about it and let you know?”

“Sure, but don’t wait too long.
