Return to Doll Island

by Ocean

  “Do you think your movie will help?”

  “It won’t, by itself, change the world, but it will help. He’s making deals like this with people all over the world.”

  “Amazing,” Rosie said. “This is fascinating. Who would ever believe it?”

  “No one. Unless it happened to you, no one would believe it. But you were there. You saw with your own eyes. I felt you deserved to know.”

  “And what was the deal? I mean, you agreed to make the movie for him? What do you get out of the deal in return?”

  Devin stood, reached into her front pocket and pulled out a small, blue box. She pushed her chair back and knelt on a bent knee.

  “He promised that when I asked you this question, you’d say ‘yes’.”

  Devin flipped open the box.

  Reflecting the bright morning sunlight, sparkled a solitary diamond.

  Final p.s.

  A breeze whisked through the kitchen window and caused the curtains to flutter. One of the dolls perched on the shelf tilted until it fell and leaned against the other.

  Its eyes shifted into a sideways glance.

  To the reader

  First, to you the reader. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read my words. It is for you that we write.

  If you enjoyed this book, please take a moment to leave a review. The only way I can decide whether to commit more time to these characters and this series is by getting feedback from you, the readers. Your opinion matters.

  Writers can’t write without those who support us on the home front, our friends and family. Thank you for being there for us

  This book is dedicated to the fabulous beta readers that read these words when they were still in a rough draft. Thank you. Elle, AC, Kim & Laure. You’re all fantastic. I can’t thank you enough for your feedback and for catching the many ‘oops’ that I’d made. You truly are the unsung heroes who really make a difference.

  Finally, I’d like to thank Michael Labrie for your creativity and patience with me while creating the wonderful cover.

  Thank you.
