With being so busy, Iâd totally forgotten to seek her out. I jerked my head toward my grandmotherâs alarm clock, and it was eighty-thirty. Georgia was an early riser, so I knew sheâd be awake. I texted my mom back.
Me: Going to ride by her house now.
Jensen usually came over around nine oâclock, and I wanted to be back so I could see him. So, hurrying out of the bedroom, I grabbed my keys and got in my car. Georgia lived down Beach Drive, so it only took three minutes to get to her house.
When I arrived, she was locking up her door. I rolled my window down and hollered out to her. âGood morning, Georgia!â
She turned around and waved while slowly making her way down the stairs. âHey, Everleigh. What are you doing here?â she asked with a bright smile that was framed by her short white hair. Her tanned skin seemed even darker in the early summer sunlight, making me suspect she spent most of her days outdoors.
âI came to see you,â I told her. âWhere you off to?â
She pointed toward the road. âI was going to walk to the antique store. I like looking at all the trinkets.â
I beckoned her inside my car. âNo need to walk. Iâll take you.â
Georgia beamed. âThatâs so sweet of you. I promise I wonât be long in there.â
I laughed. âIâm not worried about it. Get in.â
The woman was eighty-five years old and still walking all across town. My grandmother used to be her sidekick. It broke my heart thinking of her walking by herself now. When Georgia got in, we headed on our way.
âHow have you been?â I asked.
She shrugged. âAs good as can be expected. I miss my partner in crime.â
A burn settled behind my eyes. âI know how you feel.â
She looked over at me. âWhat about you? You doing okay?â
âI am,â I answered honestly. âI worked at the clinic for a couple of days and my best friend from Boston is set to arrive in a couple of hours.â
Georgia smiled, her eyes twinkling. âAnd Jensen? How are things with him?â
A laugh escaped my lips. âNot bad. Weâre on speaking terms, at least. Iâm hoping to see him today.â
Georgiaâs grin widened. âYour grandmother always wanted you two together.â
Yes, she did. I still didnât know what was going to happen between us, but after seeing all the work heâd done at the house, I couldnât push him away any longer. Truthfully, I was afraid of getting hurt, but the thought of leaving with things being resolved hurt even more. It was time I made a move; I was tired of being miserable.
âSpeaking of my grandmother,â I began, âdo you know anything about her past relationships?â
Georgiaâs brows furrowed. âYou mean with men?â
I nodded. âDid she ever talk to you about a guy she met before my grandfather came along?â
Georgia pursed her lips, and a look of concentration passed across her face. âThe only man she ever talked of was Arthur, your grandfather.â
