Inn on the Edge (32 page)
Authors: Gail Bridges
No. I shook my head. No. He was gone.
But there they were, those Storybuilder pendants, merrily
casting off showers of colored light, little bits of magic in a magic-less
place. Rita and I stared at each other over the flashing arcs. “Honey,” she
whispered, her face dappled in Cadmium Red and Lemon Yellow and Cobalt Blue,
“this isn’t the end.”
She smiled at me, and at Josh, my beloved. And it was
beautiful.
I smiled too.
For some reason I couldn’t stop smiling.
Gail Bridges is happiest when she’s working on a new story,
typing away with a purring cat on her lap. She’s even been known to forget to
eat when she’s writing a great scene—which never, ever happens in real life.
When she’s not writing, Gail can be found in her
metalworking studio, creating jewelry she sells at Fine Art Fairs. If she’s not
making earrings or necklaces, she’s probably playing her classical guitar. Gail
lives with her husband and six very demanding cats.
