Gray isn’t too excited, but he also feels bad for Eddie, who is covered in blood, and cold, and it’s late on Thanksgiving. It’s clear to Eddie that Christine and Grayson know each other well, and when it becomes obvious that she needs to leave, and Eddie needs somewhere to stay, Grayson’s big empty house is the answer. The local police officer on the scene, Christine, enlists the aid of a good Samaritan who has stopped to see if he can help.
But then he accidentally becomes the material witness in a hit and run, and so he’s asked to stay put for a while until the local police can follow up-and, of course, this happens Thanksgiving evening. He’s worked the Ren Faires in the summer and since things didn’t work out with the ex, he’s headed for warmer climes with friends for the winter. He’s left his sort-of-boyfriend in Chicago and is headed to Texas when the ex’s car breaks down outside a small Illinois town. Unless a Christmas shop owner who hates the season can show an orphan what it means to have family for the holidays. Now Gray’s got a grouchy glass artist stomping around his big, empty house, and it turns out that he. And when the cop who played Juliet to your Romeo in the high school play asks you to put up her key witness for the night, you say yes. But even a recluse can’t avoid everyone in a town as small as Clear Lake. Local shop owner Grayson Croft isn’t in the habit of doing people any favors. Until he watches that girl get hit by a car and left to die. Now he’s on the road again, with barely enough cash in his pocket to hop a bus south after his (sort-of-stolen) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Midwest, USA. The only time he broke that rule, things went south fast. At a Glance: This is a really lovely story of two lonely souls who haven’t had a lot of success in the relationship department and have to work against their own insecurities and fears to move forward in their lives.īlurb: Eddie Rodrigues doesn’t stay in one place long enough to get attached.
