Veil of Silence (38 page)

“Why don’t you come by the store again tomorrow, I’ll be…around.  We could discuss terms that would be agreeable to both of us.  I like your ideas and I think you’d be successful at it.  I’d like someone to succeed at it; God knows I have no interest.”

Amy nodded as she slipped a twenty-dollar bill into her hand from her purse.  They rose from where they were seated and headed to the cashier together.  “I’d like that, perhaps we could have Lenora draw up some of the papers so she doesn’t feel left out?” she suggested.

“You’ve already got her number don’t you?” Abby said astutely as she watched Amy pay her bill and then catching Mike the server’s arm as he walked past she handed him a five-dollar bill.

“Thank you ma’am,” he said blushingly.  Most people left the tips on the table but he kinda liked the opportunity to thank her personally.

They walked out into the brisk early fall night and Amy pulled her jacket closer.  The air was so clear you could almost drink it and she breathed deeply in appreciation of it.

“You look like a hound dog smelling the air like that,” Abby teased as they walked along.

“Could be worse things that I look like.  Daddy had a good pair of coon dogs,” she answered with a laugh as she pressed the button on her key ring and unlocked the door to her new SUV.

“This is yours?” Abby asked in surprise.  Her car was parked alongside.  She noted that the vehicle still had the dealer plates on it.  If it wasn’t brand new it was only recently old, it was a Mazda CX-5 and looked sharp.  She gazed at it enviously.

Amy nodded proudly.  “Yes I bought it yesterday, I knew I’d need a good sturdy vehicle for the winters up here and to get in and out of the cabin I rented.”

“It got four-wheel drive?” she asked as she nearly drooled over the modern SUV.

Amy nodded again.  “Yep and all sorts of gadgets I’m gonna have to get used to.”

Abby nodded wondering how much the SUV had cost her and smiled ruefully.  A new SUV was far in the future for her and her children, in the meantime she had her cruiser.  She watched as Amy got into the SUV and it smoothly started for her.  “Hey, you might want to get a remote starter for it,” she suggested to her new friend.

“Already got it thanks,” Amy said with a grin.  “I’ll see you tomorrow.”  She waved as she closed the door and slowly backed out of the stall.  She didn’t notice that Abby was getting in the cruiser that had been parked next to her own SUV.

Don’t judge a book by its cover!  Nothing, and no one, is EVER what they seem.

Ellen Christenson escapes from an abusive life, but does one ever escape the scars that are left on their soul?  One must move on, one must try.  But life has a tendency to circle back to what one once knew and she finds her life choices bring her back to the scenes of her abuse, to deal with it finally and fully, in ways she had never thought she would deal with.  It is then that the healing can begin, as she repairs her soul and the people she has devastated along the way.

Ellen hadn’t ‘intended’ to end up in Silicon Valley and its high tech world, but due to life and it’s circumstances she finds herself the head of a startup tech company.  Cool, calculating, efficient, she shows the world a side of her that she really isn’t, few if any know the real Ellen.  Nearby San Francisco provides her with plenty of girlfriends.  That elusive one, that soul mate, she has a hard time recognizing due to the scars within.

Living with the choice of letting someone die for their sins, for years, Ellen is ‘blown away’ by the feelings and emotions she has bottled up for so long….
