As Far As The Eye Can See – Clarise Rivera (1)

​She walked to the kitchen gracefully, and he thought she looked stunning in a completely understated way. Her perfume lingered by him, and he felt the need to excuse himself, stepping outside for a minute to regain his composure. People began to arrive a few minutes later.

Paco and Celia came with Xavier, Sam, and Margaret. Paco was dressed in a nice, dark blue, button- down shirt and dark jeans, and Celia was wearing a leopard-print long- sleeved blouse and black leggings. Her long, curly hair was pulled back into a French braid. Paco carried in two ice chests full of smoked meat and drinks.

Margaret dressed up as well in a long blue jean skirt and a red bulky sweater. Her long, silver hair was piled lazily on her head. She wore a little too much eye makeup, but she was happy to be there. She had followed Emily’s instructions and made Sam wear the sweater and button-down shirt Emily laid out. He and Xavier disappeared to Gavin’s living room to find something on Netflix. “I brought the brisket.

Now it’s Thanksgiving! Where do you want it?” Paco asked. Will came alone carrying dinner rolls and a cake from a German bakery, his sons deciding to spend Thanksgiving with their respective girlfriends’ family. Shakes came with his new friend, Amanda, who was at least fifteen years younger than him and cursed like a sailor. Despite her f- bombs, she was considerate enough and brought a pecan pie and a bottle of rum. “It’s my mom’s recipe. It’s bomb. I mean, out of your fucking mind good.

I hope you like it,” she said. Emily smiled, grateful her deaf son couldn’t hear the cursing. Gavin walked in from outside with a tall, young man following closely behind him.

1kitap1.com/en I would like to thank several people for their love and support for this novel: Peyton, who has been my encouragement for almost twenty years and who provides me quiet time to write when the writing mojo beckons; Sandy, whose passion for the written word, copywriting, and a good ole’ fashioned love story helped in the editing of the novel; Zach, whose creativity and patience allowed for cover art that made me feel like the characters were coming home; David, who patiently explained hay farming and horses too many times to count over the last three years; Val, who knew I was five chapters away from finishing the book and would remind me nightly to push through the resistance; and my numerous family and friends who always offer to read and talk about characters to help make them more believable—thank you for being my tribe.

She parked and watched the dust settle around the ‘87 Honda Civic she was driving and let go of the death grip on the steering wheel. The car definitely needed new tires. And brakes. She rolled down the windows, because at 9 a.m. it was still cool in western Ohio in June, and she was burning up from nervousness.

She gave herself a once over in the rearview mirror, patted down her short, dark hair, and tried to rub away the black circles under her eyes in vain. She looked like hell, the toll of the last few months resting solely on her face. She picked phantom fuzz off the pink shirt and the black slacks she was wearing.

She hated this outfit, but this was the best she could find, rummaging through her Aunt Margaret’s clothing on such short notice.
