Forget Me Not
A
Candy Hearts Romance
by
Maureen L. Bonatch
Blurb:
The
car accident totaled Sabrina Post’s convertible and reinvented her memories.
She can't recall dumping Cole Dawson ten years ago. What her new clairvoyant
visions tell Sabrina is he’s her husband. Any practical girl would question her
sanity. But if Sabrina wants to make this imaginary future a reality, she'll
have to regain Cole’s trust and eliminate her rival, the coffee shop waitress
who’s pegged Cole as husband #4. To prove she’s foreseen their destiny, Sabrina
stirs Cole’s interest by revealing specifics about him she couldn’t have
otherwise known. Unfortunately, the one detail he vividly remembers is the pain
when she left him and their "rinky-dink" town in her rearview mirror.
If Cole
can't believe she's a changed woman, can Sabrina accept the
only second chance she has at love exists in her memories?
Excerpt:
The boxes of candy hearts Julie
forgot spilled across the floor.
Cole hunkered
down and gathered the papers. His mouth formed a hard line as he glanced at
Sabrina’s leave paperwork with the end date prominently circled. He replaced it
on the table under the keys.
“No really, I
can do it. You stay, Cole. I’ll be right back.” Sabrina caught her reflection
in the mirror on the wall. The quest for a coat resulted in her hair looking as
if she’d stuck her finger into an electrical outlet. Her appearance matched her
desperation. She ran her hands over her head, but the static filled strands
resisted smoothing.
“I need to
check on Dad anyway, and it’s on my way. I’ll take Josie.” Cole extended his
elbow, and Josie latched on like a lifeline, her fingers digging into the
leather of his jacket. She skittered across a few of the remaining candies,
crushing Be Mine and Love Me on the floor. “Thanks again for
dinner, Marge.”
“Cole wait.”
Despair leaked into Sabrina’s plea.
He glanced toward the papers on the table and sighed. “I waited for years, Rena. It’s you who waited too long.”
He glanced toward the papers on the table and sighed. “I waited for years, Rena. It’s you who waited too long.”
As the door
closed behind him, so did the future with Cole that she’d imagined. Her
shoulders fell. She knelt to collect the candy hearts scattered on the floor.
Forget Me Not and Hug Me taunted her with their cheerful words. Lacking a
garbage bag, she shoved a handful of the candies into her jacket pocket.
Several hearts were trodden into tiny pieces, like her own.
