Chapter 2
Tossing her rain jacket onto the hotel bed, Tess headed for the bathroom. She turned on the shower, stepping in when steam filled the room. They had gone out to dinner after fishing, meeting her mother at a local seafood restaurant. The day had gone from sunny and bright to gray, rainy and cool while they were eating. The dash from the car into the hotel had left her dripping wet. Stepping out of the shower, she grabbed a towel and toweled her hair off. With a shake of her hair, she set the towel on the edge of the sink and looked in the mirror, scanning herself. Her dark honey-colored curls were damp, hanging just to the tops of her shoulders. Her eyes just about matched her hair. She never knew what color to call them, although her mother always said she had ginger eyes.
