Cat Trick

by Sofie Kelly

  I pulled into the driveway, turned off the truck and pulled the key out of the ignition. “I ruined everything with Marcus,” I said. I sucked in a breath. “It’s over, and maybe it never really got started.”

  I walked around the side of the house with the cats trailing me. I didn’t see the chair until I almost fell over it. It was sitting on the path in front of the back stairs.

  My rocking chair.

  It wasn’t in pieces anymore. It was all there, every joint strong and tight, with a new leather back and seat. It was back together, every single piece.

  The chair looked wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

  But not nearly as wonderful as the long-legged detective who was sitting on my back step.
