Chapter One
KENNEDY
Hi Liam,
Yet another email I’ll never send you.
I was offered an acting job yesterday by one of Malcolm’s old clients. It’s just a minor part. A fill-in, really, but it pays well. We’re not hurting for money, but only a year after Malcolm and Mom died, I’ve already gone through a scary amount of what should be saved for the kids’ college funds. Maybe I should start working to make sure I don’t inadvertently limit their options. But then, is it better for them to have that money in the future, or for them to have me around 24/7 now?
I’ve got no idea. You’d know better than I would. Your family has always been so strong. I feel like I screw up every day, and I worry I won’t give them what they need. I wish I could talk to you about it.
I miss you.
Love,
K xx
I drove into Destiny Falls as dusk was settling over the township. The last rays of sunlight gilded the colonial style shopfronts of Centennial Street in gold. To the right, an older lady wrapped in a fluffy purple jersey and a matching knit hat brought in the Open sign outside Destiny Fibers. I smiled. Desdemona Smith. It was nice to know some things hadn’t changed.
The street was mostly empty of people, with a few gathered outside Drunken Destiny, which looked to have been repainted during the eleven years I’d been gone, and several others clustered around a cafe a couple of buildings down from Desdemona’s shop. That was new. I glanced at signwriting on the window. Taste of Destiny. My lips curved into a smile. I’d always loved the way the locals played up to the town’s name.
For a brief moment, I considered pulling over for a coffee. I’d flown from Los Angeles to New Zealand the day before yesterday, and then I’d been driving all day yesterday as well as today. Prior to leaving, I’d been rushing through a tourist Visa application. Now, I was exhausted and not in the mood to deal with the possibility of tourists at the cafe recognizing me. Being a successful actress had its perks—I never needed to worry about money again—but it had downsides too.
A shiver ran through me. Serious downsides.
