Return to Magnolia Harbor

by Hope Ramsay

  Her face brightened. “Okay.”

  “Okay?”

  She nodded. “Tomorrow?”

  Damn. “Yeah. I guess. At the public pier. Four o’clock.” He turned away before she could argue.

  “Hey. Wait,” she called as he scooted down the boardwalk.

  He didn’t wait.

  “Hey. Don’t you even want to know my name?” she hollered at his back.

  He turned around and backpedaled. “Why? I’ll recognize you if you show up tomorrow. Oh, and bring cash.”
