Love and a Dacha Uproar

“Uh… hello, we’re here, so…—” I forced out, feeling my voice come out hoarse. “This is Grey. He, it seems, your carrot… well… dug up—and while he was at it, he found someone else.”

The woman smiled wider, and suddenly I realized that my plan “to calm the nerves” just cracked.

My heart thumped once, twice, and somewhere deep inside the thought flickered: maybe my friend was right about country romances? And looking at this beautiful woman, I suddenly wanted to believe that maybe not everything is lost.

Maybe this house, the dog, and the crooked fence aren’t the end, but only the beginning.
