See the truth before it’s too late.

What was that supposed to mean? I saw perfectly fine. I was the one who saw through the whole hype around Maddy the lake monster. The only one who didn’t assume all the weird shit happening to me occurred because of something supernatural.

The only thing I didn’t see? The fact my ex-husband was to blame for lots of my previous woes. Could I be acting blind again where he was concerned? Martin could be the one who’d vandalized my store. It was the kind of easy and petty thing I could see him doing. Yet, at the same time, why would he jeopardize the freedom he’d attained by breaking out of jail?

And what if Martin had nothing to do with it? Could be someone random. Someone else with a vendetta.

I counted myself lucky that whoever targeted me hadn’t set fire to my store. I’d had more than my share of flames and destruction lately.

I returned to the shop in time to see my windows cleaned out, and Brigda preparing to put plywood over them. She screwed the boards on as I slowed to a stop in front of the shop.

“What happened to fixing them?” It emerged a little more tartly than I meant. What could I say? Her attitude toward me grated. She hated me, and yet I’d done nothing to her to warrant it.

The screws kept going in, and Brigda focused on those rather than face me as she said, “I need to get some glass cut to size. I’ll be back in a day or two to set the pieces.”

Meaning another few days before I could re-open my shop.

Great. With Christmas less than a week away, I would be squandering some of the best shopping days.

My teeny violin let out a tiny screeching note.

Shoulders back, head up. Yes, this was a setback. However, that didn’t mean I should pout in a corner. There was still plenty to be done. Online ads to place, announcing my grand opening. Taking pictures of the treasures and uploading them onto my new website that Winnie helped set up.

My whiz kid gave me a log-in and everything. All I had to do now was add pictures, descriptions, prices, and SKUs. Words that sounded daunting at first until Winnie sat down and showed me how to add a few items. It turned out it was simply a matter of filling the blanks. Once I saved an item as active, it automatically showed up on the website. We didn’t have online ordering completely set up yet; however, Winnie said the business might not thrive if we didn’t have some kind of option for it.

So much to do. So little time. I shouldn’t waste it. I spent the next hour and a bit taking pictures, which proved challenging. I had only limited lighting once the plywood was in place. The gloomy interior did not produce the kind of vibe I thought we should project. Good thing Mr. Peterson up the street had utility lights I could borrow that turned the shop bright as day.
