He’s just not sure how. Helping Billy navigate the world of parenting is a one-way ticket back to heartache. Yet how can Grace say no to her oldest friend?

“I was a good friend!” Billy said.
“Exactly,” Grace replied quietly. “You were a great friend.”
Billy was silent, his expression softening.
“A fantastic buddy,” she went on. “And I was just as silly as those other women who were groveling after you, or maybe more so. I had a good thing with you, but I wanted more...”
“You...” The word came out in a breath, and he stared at her, dark eyes moving over her face inch by inch as if looking for a chink in her armor. A smile flickered as if he thought she were joking, then it dropped away.
“Was there a guy I didn’t know about...?” he started.
Tracy had said what she wanted plainly, and Grace had always held back... Maybe it was time to stop that.
“I wanted more with you.” The words were so quiet, as if she almost wished he wouldn’t hear them. But he froze, and she couldn’t read his expression anymore.
I went to high school in a picturesque mountain town in the Canadian Rockies, so it’s a special treat for me to revisit the mountains in my Home to Eagle’s Rest miniseries. Life is slower in the mountains, and you gauge the seasons by the tourists and the snow line on the mountainside. When I created this little town, it felt like coming home in a lot of ways, and I settled right in. I hope you do, too!
