Sunshine on My Shoulder

LAURA LEE SLID THE PERFECTLY CRIMPED HOMEMADE potpie into the fridge, ready to pop into the oven later that evening after Shane arrived home. She cleaned up the mess she’d made of the state-of-the-art kitchen and then blew out a sigh. The house gleamed with spotless, polished beauty. A dust bunny wouldn’t have the nerve to show itself. The pantry was bursting with groceries, and Shane’s clothes were all laundered and neatly folded on his bed.

Tapping her cheek, Laura Lee tried to think of something else she could do to earn the large sum of money Shane paid her every Friday. She could head up into town to Grammar’s Bakery for the butter cookies that he had taken a liking to. Or she could drive over to the Beer Barn for some of the Kentucky bourbon barrel ale she’d introduced him to last week. Although he’d jokingly said that he was packing on weight from her cooking and never-ending treats she showered upon him, Laura Lee thought the man looked damn good.

Finally she decided to go out onto the back deck in the sunshine and give Mattie a call to hear how her dinner with Garret had gone last night. After pouring a glass of sweet tea she opened the sliding door and settled onto a cushy lounge chair. She picked up her cell phone but paused to take in the view. The glistening water in the pool did look inviting and she had a swimsuit in her van. But she still felt a little bit guilty lounging around as if she owned the place.

“Hmm . . .” Laura Lee decided that she could hose down the deck and then maybe head up to purchase some pretty hanging baskets from Gabby, the cute little owner of Flower Power up the road in Wedding Row. While there she could stop in River Row Pizza and Pasta and see what delectable dessert Reese had made for the day. Laura Lee smiled. And now that she
