I HAVE TRAVELED AROUND the world. I’ve walked the Great Wall of
China, eaten dinner at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and ridden the bullet train
from Tokyo to Osaka. That’s not all. I’ve led an army into battle on
dragonback, seduced a vicious mafia boss, and journeyed back in time to
fall in love with everyone from Vikings to the Knights of the Round Table.
I’ve lived a thousand lives.
Too bad the only real one fucking sucks.
I sigh and close the book I’ve been reading. It’s a good one, about a ghost
hunter who accidentally falls in love with the spirit she’s supposed to track
down. Some people call these guilty pleasure reads, but why should I feel
guilt for wanting to escape to somewhere else, even for a little while?
The bookstore is dead quiet today, so I’ve been able to sneak in a few
pages… or a hundred. It’s typical for autumn. Once tourist season ends,
Orca Cove goes into hibernation mode. Only the regulars come around, and
they don’t need—or want—much from me.
I push a wayward strand of hair behind my ear, not bothering to trap it
back into the messy rat’s nest I’ve got piled on my head. Just peering out
the big windows at the front of the shop has me reaching for my sweater.
Rain during fall in the Pacific Northwest is as typical as a bear shitting in
the woods, but that doesn’t stop the locals from complaining. Careful not to
knock over the display of books I’ve arranged, I press my palm against the
moist glass. I like the rain. It makes me feel less guilty for huddling inside,
away from everything and everyone else. I’m sure if I said that to someone,
they’d think it’s weird. But hey, like rain in Orca Cove or bears shitting in
the woods, that’s to be expected.
The door jingles open and Josie and Tiffany walk in, nattering to one
another. They’re as typical of locals as you can get: middle-aged, wineloving, clique-y. Wives of two of the fishing guides.
“Hello,” I say, pretending to fix the display instead of staring out at the
rain like a weirdo. “How are you two ladies today?”
