Excerpt:
Prologue
Johnson City, TN April 25, 2016
Leslie Jennings
carefully folded the last of her husband’s shirts and zipped up the
suitcase. She picked it up, struggling
as she did. Leslie was only 5’2, and
very slim. The suitcase was almost as big
as she. Leslie managed to get it to the
floor, where she raised the handle and rolled it to the top of the stairs. Now she had to get it downstairs without
making too much noise. Carter would
accuse her of trying to destroy his Louis Vuitton luggage. After ten minutes of pulling the luggage
down one stair at a time, Leslie finally rolled it to the front door. She ran quickly back upstairs and grabbed his
garment bag. She had already packed this
and she hurried back downstairs.
She was waiting
by the luggage when Carter came downstairs, his briefcase hanging from his
shoulder. He was dressed in a sharp gray
suit, white dress shirt, and patterned gray tie. Leslie studied him while he glanced through
his phone. Carter was of average
height, with graying brown hair and eyes.
He had sharp features and rarely smiled.
His only pleasure was making a sale.
He owned a real estate company and it was very successful. They had been married for thirty years and
they had no children.
