JESS
Jess got out of the cab and gazed up at the old beach house, unable to
contain her smile.
She was home.
The last time Jess had come down from Pennsylvania and found herself
looking up at the house on Seashell Lane, everything had been different.
Desperate for funds after her husband left her without a word, Jess and
her teenage daughter, Glory, had fled here to Driftwood Key, planning to
clean out the beach house so it could be sold. When they arrived, the yard
had been overgrown, there was a tarp over part of the roof, and the paint
was peeling off the porch in curls. Now, just over a month later, everything
had changed and Jess was returning like a conquering hero.
She also finally had answers about why Silas had left her, though they
weren’t at all what she expected.
It turned out that her husband hadn’t run off with another woman, like
everyone had suspected. Instead, he’d pulled his vanishing act because he
was sick. And though she would always be furious with him for not
allowing her to be by his side, she knew that he had loved her in his own
misguided way. And whatever might be left of their assets after the
mountains of medical bills were paid would be hers.
Suddenly, Jess had choices. And the first one she made, with the help of
her daughters, was to come home to Driftwood Key.
From the look of things, Jess’s transformation wasn’t the only one going
on.
She drank in the sight of the lush greenery surrounding the pretty
wraparound porch with its fresh coat of paint and brand-new ceiling fans.
The roof had been repaired, so the blue tarp was finally gone. She smiled
when she realized Clint had painted the old wicker porch furniture a pale
pink while she was away.
The scent of salt on the air and the sound of the ocean just behind the
house all combined to make her feel like herself, like she was home.
She heard someone say her name in a familiar, rumbly voice as Clint
walked around from the back of the house, a huge wooden storm shutter
under one arm. His golden hair lit up in the sun and Jess couldn’t help
noticing the way his brawny form filled out the poor t-shirt that clung to his
strong arms and chest as if for dear life.
Don’t look at him that way, she told herself. You’re done with men. And
besides, he’s practically your brother.
It was true. They had both been fostered by Mary McKinnon and her
family back when Jess was younger than Glory. She had only spent just
over a year there, but the time with that wonderful crew had stayed with her
always.
And Clint had clearly fallen in love with them too, as evidenced by the
fact that he had never moved away, and made it his mission to check in on
Mary, now that she was older and her husband had passed.
In the time since Jess had been back, she’d found herself more and more
drawn to him. But he was tough to read, and wasn’t one for talking about
his feelings much.
