Early Access: The Taste Of A Smile Part 35 ‘Uncomfortable’ Extra Excerpt Teaser

Hello!

It’s Monday. 😱

I can’t fix that, but I can release a snippet of the next episode. Just because it’s Monday.

Love from Ghent,

Sigrid

PS: I’ve scheduled a trip to the post office today! Postcards should be coming your way soon.

 

Mary’s eyes were burning. She had only gotten a few hours’ sleep and her body was clearly running on empty. Her shirt stuck to her back, which was clammy, and her cheeks were glowing from exhaustion despite the cold.

The back door of the store fell shut behind her. Mary unzipped her coat and considered what she should do next. Probably have some more coffee. She didn’t know how she would make it through the day without it.

It was only Wednesday and Mary was already desperate for the weekend. She wanted some time to be alone. Some time to think. Her conversation with Milly last night had turned her head upside down.

Was Milly right, Mary wondered? Should she have given Lex the benefit of the doubt? Should she have given her a chance to sort things out? And what role had her own insecurity played in her decision to end things between them?

Mary didn’t have the answers to any of these questions. She wasn’t sure if she ever would. Maybe that didn’t matter. Maybe Lex would soon disappear from her life. What if she didn’t, though? What if…

    I live in ‘it’s complicated’ state permanently. You get used to it after a while. 🙂

        That’s true. It’s an amazing but dangerous ability.
