So many unanswered questions that I'm looking forward to getting answers to.
Quote:
In the darkness of his jail cell, Dale Turner sat with his head in his hands. He almost didn't hear the footsteps approaching - they were lighter than the guards' - but he knew it was her even before she came into focus amidst the hazy light streaming through the bars.
Why is Dale in jail?
Quote:
If Emily's first words had surprised her, Emily's reaction at her own words really shocked her. Emily's whole face broke out in a grin, and she quickly seized Heather in a hug that left her gasping for air.
"I'm so glad! I wouldn't want anything to happen to my best friend!" Emily exclaimed.
AND
Quote:
Emily was still smiling as she exclaimed brightly, "I have no idea!"
What's up with Emily? Here cheerfulness as she goes from place to place is so unusual. She obviously doesn't know Jake isn't around. I wonder what's up with that too.
Quote:
Stanley could hear her sniffling beside him. It went against all her training, he knew, to lose control like this, but they had both abandoned their training a lot these past few months. "Hey, Mimi, I know it's hard," he began. "I hate this too. But she died to protect something greater than herself. It's what she wanted, what we are all born to do."
"I should have protected her, and I should have protected the secret. That was my job," said Mimi.
"She loved you too, you know, and we are all in this together. For better or worse." He grinned through his own tears.
"I guess...I guess we have to carry on with the mission, without her. Make sure she didn't die for nothing," said Mimi.
AND
Quote:
Stanley was slightly annoyed that his ruminations on his family secret and the woman who had agreed, once again, to stick by him, had been interrupted.
This has me the most intrigued. Exactly who is Mimi? Is Stanley the fun-loving farmer that I always thought he would be? What did Bonnie die for?What is the Richmond family secret? How long has Stanley known Mimi?
Quote:
"She'd tied my shoelaces together. And I tried to run anyway, but someone had covered the floor in this stuff." He rubbed his hand across his knee, and held it up. The green liquid dripped off it. He gave it a sniff. "Laundry soap. Meadow fresh."
LOL! Leave it to Skylar to come up with such an ingenious plan to break Dale out of jail.
Quote:
"What's DD?" asked the soldier.
"You haven't heard of them?" asked Eric. "How long have you been here?"
Good question. What is DD? I'm guessing it has something to do with Dale and Skylar.
Quote:
"Yeah," he whispered. "It's just too bad she missed this."
Mary sighed against him, but then leaned back to shake her head. "I know, but we should just be glad she's safe. And the baby."
So April and the baby are alive? There's obviously a connection between April, Eric and Mary. Interesting.
Quote:
"Hey," she patted his arm, letting her hand rest there for a moment longer than either of them expected. "What matters is that you came. When we needed you."
He turned to look at her. She looked up at him, a smile in those familiar eyes of hers. He felt a strange sensation within him, as though, for the first time since coming back to this bizarre place that had been his town, something was right.
AND
He glanced at her again. "I know," he whispered. He reached with a trembling hand and laid the heel of his palm against her cheek. Staring up at him, she reached her hand up and held it against his, steadying his whole arm with her touch.
Gail and Gray?? I never would have thought!
Quote:
Clutching the paper bag in one hand and the door frame in her other, she thought to herself, I wish I'd been more careful.
Hmm....is this why Heather wanted to find Jake? But then again she seemed really embarrassed when she bumped into Bill as she was coming out of the pharmacy. What a way to endthis part!
Ah, PennyLane, you've left with me so many questions!
What/who was in the picture on Gray’s desk? And why did he not have the heart to remove it? I suspect that if I knew the answer to one, I might be able to piece together the other.
Why is Dale in jail? (Hey, that rhymes!)
Quote:
He pulled his head away to raise his eyebrows. “I just feel bad that she didn't get to see this,” Mary said.
More questions! Are they referring to Bonnie not getting to see the flag? Is it someone else? Somehow I doubt they’d be referring to April. But then later they talked about her being safe with the baby.
Quote:
“Yeah, good thing I took that job, I guess. Earned some brownie points in case of arrest.”
Such a Heather thing to say. It cracked me up.
Emily's good mood as she flitted from place to place--not entirely welcome anywhere--also struck me as humorous. So I'm assuming that Emily is not aware that Jake went to Cheyenne. That doesn't bode well for their future; then again, I suspect that there's something else that doesn't bode well for that relationship. More on that later...
Quote: “I should have protected her, and I should have protected the secret. That was my job,” said Mimi.
Hmmm…Protected the secret? Just what is this secret to which Mimi refers?
And then
“I guess...I guess we have to carry on with the mission, without her. Make sure she didn't die for nothing,” said Mimi.
Join me for another hmmmmm…
Stanley was slightly annoyed that his ruminations on his family secret and the woman who had agreed, once again, to stick by him, had been interrupted.
Yeah, I would be annoyed if Emily snuck up on me, family secret or not. So I am once again intrigued. Mimi had agreed once again to stick by him?!?!?!
The soldier continued to look at the golf shirt hanging from the roof. “DD?” he asked himself.
Sandra continued to read the story and found herself asking, “DD? What is this?” Then she realized that PennyLane, being the brilliant writer that she is would explain this all in due course. For now, just enjoy the intrigue. And then Sandra realized that she was writing about herself using third person, shook her head in embarrassment, and continued reading….
Clutching the paper bag in one hand and the door frame in her other, she thought to herself, I wish I'd been more careful.
Argh, what a cliffhanger! Was this why Heather was trying to find Jake? If so, look out!
Well, I have to say that your prologue--as you can tell from my reactions--raises many questions for me. I look forward to going along on this journey with you. :)
Thank you SandraDee!
You, of course, ask some interesting questions, but I'm afraid the only answer I can give for now is: all in good time :)
Thanks for reading and commenting and I hope you enjoy the journey!
Well after reading it all again there are so many questions. I'm sure you would go on in those question as the story progress but I will ask anyway.
Mimi shook her head again, hoping the blond would take the hint and take off. Her mind was already racing through strategies and next steps she would take on her mission, and she couldn't wait to be alone with her love again. Mission? Next steps? I'm all ears.
Very funny all the situation with Dale and Skylar. But I'm intrigued too DD? And why is Dale in Jail?
Mary sighed against him, but then leaned back to shake her head. “I know, but we should just be glad she's safe. And the baby.” All right, who is she in who is the baby????
“What do you say we go check on them now?” she asked.
He nodded. “We have a lot to tell them.” Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!! who are they go to check on, what they have to tell? I¡m biting my nails now in anticipation.
He glanced at her again. “I know,” he whispered. He reached with a trembling hand and laid the heel of his palm against her cheek. Staring up at him, she reached her hand up and held it against his, steadying his whole arm with her touch. OK that was really really weird and intimate don't you think? shudering right now. I don't like Gray sorry I had to tell.
Bill laughed at his friend's earnest suggestions. “Nah, this lone wolf's not ready to settle yet. Not when I've got so many -” So many what? sorry a chuckle is coming right now ( I hope I spell right the word chuckle)
The thought of the pregnancy test inside it was only one of many thoughts swirling around in her head, making her dizzy. The one that seemed to be dominating, repeating over and over, was one sentence, one wish.
Heather is Pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what an ending!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great story I can't wait to see more, I've got the feeling that I'm gonna love this story. :)
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to provoke some questions for you. All shall be answered in good time. Thanks for reading!
