A Taste of Spring

Chapter 34

Even though she gulped half her water down, Spring's mouth felt as if it was filled with sand. She sat quietly in his passenger seat as he maneuvered through the strip mall parking lot back to the shoe store. He didn't speak either, but he did glance her way more than once.
