She removed the key from the ignition. “I still love Indian summers. Looking at fall foliage really relaxes me.” Her gaze roved over the vividly colored trees and shrubbery. A heaviness hit her that she couldn’t shake off. Unwinding in the countryside usually worked, but it didn’t this trip. It was time to be real with Kyle, and with herself.
