Scarlet Brevon stared at the letter tucked in the pocket of her binder.
She didn’t want to travel across the country, not in the middle of the textile
department’s rushed holiday preparations. Scarlet also had no desire to
spend her summer in a windy little coastal town to inherit an old bookshop
when reading was the last thing she had time or interest in doing. But if she
didn’t handle it, everything her beloved aunt had worked hard for would go
to waste.
Aunt Ann had always been a spry, fiery woman known for wearing
bright colors in flowing fabrics over yoga pants. She appreciated all things
and all people, yet she’d never married or had any children. That left Scarlet
to takeover her little bookshop and cope with her unexpected death alone.
Scarlet had never felt so overwhelmed or lost in her whole life. She had
no one to turn to, not anyone close. Everything had fallen on her shoulders.
Her aunt had always been a health nut and stayed on what she called a
“clean” diet, much better than Scarlet’s, though Aunt Ann had a particular
flair for baking. She had rescued many animals over the years—more than
Scarlet could count. Scarlet herself had none.
The executor of her estate, Mr. Shorboro, had a foster home care for the
animals left behind. He had settled all other matters. All that was left was
the bookshop, which Aunt Ann owned outright.
I wish you were here, Mom. I’d gladly hand this responsibility off to
you. I think you would’ve enjoyed retiring on the Oregon coast with all the
books you could ever hope to read.
Both her mother and aunt loved to sit on the sofa for hours, reading
every book they could get their hands on. Her mother preferred romances
and self-help books, while her aunt loved mysteries and thrillers. Scarlet
had taken after her father, only interested in instructions or online answers if
necessary. Her mother had done her best, but it wasn’t interesting to Scarlet
to sit for hours and spend time in her head.
The phone at Scarlet’s desk rang, startling her. Aunt Ann had called her
many times over the last few months, and every time, Scarlet had silenced it
or ignored it because of work.
Scarlet picked it up and answered.
