Chapter 1 of "A Match For a Bubbly Bride: The Mystery Matchmaker of Ella Pointe"

My arms ached and sweat gathered at the base of my neck. Rowing a boat was harder than it looked. The midmorning sun was relentless, even on the water, and I longed to jump in for a cool swim. My charge, six-year-old Bebe, had not stopped talking since we left the shore. She was particularly fond of asking questions.

“She'd not known grief would come in waves, brought on by the smallest of things. Nor had she realized that ordinary acts of living would continue even after the loss of a love and that it would remain possible to get caught up in the moment of a simple pleasure before remembering.”

“She didn't belong here, amidst all the laughter, abandonment, the war cries of freedom. These other kids were alive and vibrant. She was chained and invisible.”

“If only she understood that reading leads to freedom. You can go anywhere or learn anything inside a book. You are liberated inside those words, free to live another’s life.”

“From all reports, Briggs Tutheridge is someone who enjoys life. Perhaps a little too much.”

“I’m always more interested in the people around me,â€� Mrs. Mantle said. “All the details that tell me about a person. For example, I have some ideas about you.â€�
“As in?� I couldn’t help but be intrigued. Most people didn’t notice me at all.
“Your love of art. The glimmer of intelligence in your eyes. Your simple dark skirt and white blouse hinted that you’d been at work, although I’d guessed a secretary, not a bakery. You mentioned a father but no mother, which leads me to believe your mother has passed away some time ago. You’re in obvious distress, given the tears. I’m guessing a man has broken your heart.�
My brows shot up in surprise. “How did you know?�
“As I said, I watch people carefully. The way you brushed away the tears with such ferocity, as if you wanted to punish yourself for crying. Tell me about him. What happened?�
I thought for a moment. Did I want to tell my pitiful story to a stranger? It was surely one she’d heard before. Left for a woman’s best friend.
An image of Lionel’s face danced before me. His soft brown eyes and a mouth too pink for a man, yet perfect. The pitying way he’d looked at me while saying the words, “I love her. We’re going to marry. I’m sorry, Faith. Truly, I am. But you deserve a man who loves you, and I’m not him.”
