HALEY
The lease on my entry table mocked me. Who knew something inanimate could do such a thing? But it did. It sat there and stared at me, judging and demanding.
I only had three months left on my lease. Less than that to decide if I was staying or leaving.
But I had no clue what I wanted to do.
I moved to MacKellar Cove with such hope and excitement. It all crashed and burned the second Valentina opened the door and I realized my boyfriend wasn’t who I thought he was. At all. At that point, I had no choice. I’d signed a one-year lease on my apartment and a one-year lease on the chair I rented in the salon. Getting out of both would have cost more than I had available.
I’d checked. In that lease. Daily, for months. Just in case it had changed. Even after I gave up on leaving town
