July Thunder (2002)
“It had been three years since his wife’s death, and common sense told him he should be getting past his dislike of beautiful sunny days. Especially beautiful sunny days when there was no snow on the ground.
After three years, he told himself, it should no longer seem like a personal affront when the sky wasn’t filled with low, leaden clouds that wept. So maybe he had just developed some bad habits.
Still, he wasn’t happy to see a sky so blue it hurt to look at it or feel the warmth of a summer ...day, a day the locals would call “hot,” even though they would be lucky to see eighty.
He locked the door of his snug little house behind him, closing it on the memories within that had haunted his nights for a long time. This morning, for some reason, closing that door didn’t feel like a betrayal. At once, the realization filled him with guilt.
Was he healing? Part of him thought it was about time, and part of him wondered how he could even think of letting go.
Sighing, he got into his patrol car and headed for his job as a sheriff’s deputy in Whisper Creek.MoreLess
