CHAPTER 17

HEATHER

Heather and Grace made their way into the Sandpiper Inn and were greeted with an accord of “hi girls” and warm smiles and the smell of pine needles and cinnamon. It felt odd going to book club on a Sunday night, but this was the first week of the change of date.

With a new bunco game group starting at the Sandpiper Cove Community Center on the same night, Natasha was flexible and decided to switch the book club night so women didn’t have to choose between the two clubs. A lot of the older women wanted to go to bunco as well.

Heather was grateful for Natasha’s willingness to change the date. She would have been disappointed if the book club had been canceled or if not as many women showed up. It was one of her favorite times of the week. There was something so special about gathering with women from all different ages and walks of life to talk through a similar story but to hear so many different perspectives. They each brought their own piece to the story, and it made discussion time so fruitful.

Heather had already learned so much from the women in the group and many had become friends and mentors to her over the years. It was also a special time for her to spend with her little sister, Grace. She thought it was good for Grace to be around the older women as well—it helped to mold her brain at a younger age. Although, being in her senior year of high school meant Grace would be considered an adult soon.

Since it was so cold, Natasha announced they would keep the book club going throughout the winter, but they would move the get-together into the foyer of the Sandpiper Inn, right next to the fireplace and hot beverage stand. It was the perfect spot. Natasha had gone all out for Christmas, just like she always did. The lights and fake candles were lit all around with beautiful garland wrapped on the staircase banister. Christmas music played softly in the background, but you almost couldn’t hear it due to the large group of women talking and laughing.

Heather gave a few hugs to the members and then found her way over to where Penny was seated. She had her wheelchair next to her as she lounged on the couch. Penny gave a half smile towards Heather as she approached.

This was the first time that the two of them had seen each other in person since Penny was informed by Ryan of their dating relationship. The phone call between her and Penny had gone well; Heather was happy that she decided to reach out before they went too long without talking.

Heather had taken the time to explain how she felt about Ryan but emphasized the importance of her and Penny’s relationship. She didn’t want anything to get between them, so if Penny was actually unhappy about the two of them dating, which it sounded like she was, then she would end things.
