TEASER EXCERPT

Shamika entered the kitchen. The picnic basket contents were prepared and waiting on the table. She looked out the door, hoping to see rain clouds gathering in the sky. No such luck. She looked over her shoulder at Nadine, who was chuckling and shaking her head.

“Harold already checked the weather station. We’re not expected to get any rain today,” Nadine said with a smile tickling the sides of her mouth.

Shamika’s shoulders slumped as she sighed with resignation. “I was afraid of that.”

“Funny, Harold said the same thing when he heard the report.”

“I bet he did.” Shamika crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back against the kitchen counter.

“He and Nate are saddling the horses now. I told Harold to get the saddlebags Hugo and I used to use. Hugo fixed those bags so we could carry a picnic lunch quite easily. I used to enjoy those picnics.”

Harold stormed into the kitchen. The screen door slammed closed behind him. Shamika could feel the anger wafting from him.

“Now, Harold, I taught you better than that. You know how I feel about slamming the screen door,” she said, clucking her tongue.

“You don’t like it any more than I like being shanghaied into being a tour guide.” He scowled at his mother and glared at Shamika.

“Don’t look at me like that. It wasn’t my idea,” Shamika said.

Nate tied the horses to the post outside the kitchen. He opened the door. “I brought the horses over.” He made sure the door closed gently.

“Well, finally, someone with manners who knows how to enter a house,” Nadine praised.

“If he’s such a good boy with fine manners, why don’t you have him escort Mika around today?” Harold ground out.

“I’d be more than happy to,” Nate said with laughter in his voice. He looked at Nadine hopefully, and then his gaze settled on her. He flashed a smile that had probably melted many a heart. Shamika rolled her eyes.

“That’s very nice of you, Nate, but Harold will do it,” Nadine answered.

Harold shot Nate a look filled with venom. What was that all about? Shamika wondered. Harold was the one that suggested Nate in the first place. What did it matter to him who took her on this tour anyway? Nate didn’t seem to notice. Maybe he was so used to those looks that it didn’t faze him anymore.
