“I have a leak.” That was putting it mildly.
“Where? Your roof? Your toilet? A sink.” Only a man who knew what he was doing could get to the point like this.
“Under my kitchen sink.”
Jackson handed back the glue. “This might not fix your problem. Not unless it’s at a joint.”
“What about duct tape? Would that work?”
He shook his head seriously. You would have thought they were discussing heart surgery. “Why do women always think duct tape fixes everything? Could I have your phone?”
Digging it from her purse, Emily handed her phone over.
Fingers flying, Jackson tapped the keys. “Give me a call. We can set up a time for me to come over and check it out.”
Really, he was the sweetest man ever. “I’d sure appreciate it. But I don’t want to take up too much of your time.” And I don’t want you to see my messy apartment. He handed back her phone.
“No problem. Can I have your number? Let me help out an old friend.” He slipped a phone from the clip on his belt.
Old friend? She wasn’t sure she liked that. “Sure.” Emily rattled off her number.
Jackson stowed the phone away. Tugging the tube from her hand, he tossed it back in a bin. “No boyfriend to take care of things for you?”
“I’ve got other things on my plate.” This wasn’t the time to bring up Eric. That still hurt. In fact, he may have been the start of all her trouble. Her hand went to her chest. But anxiety wasn’t eating her up today.
Jackson staggered back in mock amazement. “What? You were always dating someone in college.”
While Emily thought about the men she was sure were destined to succeed...after all, how do you get to be president of a fraternity unless you have leadership skills... a cart came rattling down the aisle.
Who was this? The blonde wore high-heeled boots and a stylish cape. “Jackson, here you are.” She said that the way Emily would say I love chocolate ganache. Click here to read more about Emily and Jackson!

Diamondback Rescue Mission
The diamondback rescue volunteers work under the direction of the UGA Marine Science Center, in conjunction with the Audubon Society. In 2018, 2595 hatchlings were released into the marsh along the coast of Georgia. The effort was started by a woman after she witnessed a nest being destroyed by a raccoon. This novel in no way attempts to be a scientific replication of their efforts! Here is a link for those who want to know more. https://skidawayaudubon.org/diamondback-terrapins
