“Oh, don’t forget, at four the staff is having a going away party for us.”
“I didn’t.” Trent searched for his contact list for Angie’s number.
“One other thing.”
He looked up, met Duncan’s stare, more serious than a moment ago.
“I’m really glad you’re joining me on the vineyard. Having some family with me as I get this new business off the ground means a lot.”
Trent’s heart filled with a love he found hard to express. He and Duncan hadn’t been close while growing up. A long and winding trail of bad choices made by Trent had left everyone else in his family with the notion he was a screw up. But not Duncan.
“Thanks. I’ll do everything in my power to help make the vineyard a success.”
Duncan studied his feet for a few seconds before looking back up. “Sometimes you’ve got to shake up your life a bit to find the gold. I know this will be different for you, but Northbridge is a special place.”
Trent nodded, even though he worried about how he’d be received in the close-knit community. “Part of the reason I said yes.”
“Bring Angie to Sophie’s party on Saturday night, so I can meet her.”
“I’ll see.”
Trent returned to his search for Angie’s number but couldn’t ignore the nervous tug at his gut, rocking the confidence it took to make a move to the small Connecticut town. Confidence easily shaken by the stupid things he’d done there many years ago, acts capable of threatening his chance for a fresh start.
