      Acknowledgments

      Thank you to everyone who reads this story. I’m sure we have all wondered what would happen if we did meet up with an old acquaintance that we didn’t see eye to eye with during our school years and the outcome of that meeting.

      Thanks to Angie for her editing skills, you are always appreciated.

      Alexis, as always, the eagle eye, a manuscript is never quite finished until you look it over.

      Nancy, thank you for the great cover.

      Dedication

      For Katie, my feline companion. Taken before her time and sorely missed.

      Chapter One

      We all have our childhood nemesis—the bully, the prettiest girl in school, the most popular, the funniest, the brightest, the list goes on and on. All dependent on which category, and there could be more than one, that threatened your existence when you were an innocent in what was supposed to be a world of learning and friendship.

      Things don’t change for what seems like forever when you’re growing up. At some stage between the ages of twenty and beyond we mature and see things for what they really are: Life isn’t always fair!

      Once you become acquainted with that disenchantment, you can expect to become, and do like most of us, ready to proceed along whatever path is open to you. As you carry on, there is a degree of certainty that things will work out in some satisfactory way that will suit you as an individual.

      That’s the theory anyway!

      I can testify that now, at forty-five, my life is settled. I love the work I do and the friends I have. My home life is easygoing with only my cat Ferdinand (Ferdy) to worry about when I need a vacation. Fortunately for me and Ferdy, our home is by the beach. I have several friends who will gladly cat-sit for me if I decide to opt for a vacation.

      If anyone asked me what I am afraid of, I’d have to say not a great deal. Okay, I’ve replaced silly childhood fears with healthy aversions, if you can call any aversion healthy, to mice and giant spiders. The latter seem to have a knowledge best suited to a clairvoyant, always appearing the exact moment I decide to take a relaxing bath. With that aside, I’d call myself pretty darn happy with my lot in life. I pride myself that I don’t have a bad word to say about anyone that I know personally, and I hope they haven’t for me.

      Alas, what I hadn’t bargained on was a disruption to my ordered life coupled with the realization that some fears were only superficially buried. Because a week ago my world tipped back three decades, when along came Sally!

      †

      Sorry, for the record, my name is Angela Barossa and I’ve lived in Whistler, a small town on the west coast all of my life. My parents were born here and came from immigrant Italian fishers. My great-grandparents’ profession does not sustain the family anymore. My parents decided real estate was the game and made a tidy profit buying and selling properties during their time at the helm of the family business. Eventually the mantle passed to me when they retired to the city. A lifetime by the sea in a small town had been enough for them and they wanted adventure. I suspect my eyes rolled at the time when they came up with that reason for leaving. Now, on reflection, I cannot see them being any place else. They love the hustle and bustle only a city can induce. They have a small but perfect apartment in the center of what might be called a bohemian area of York City. They love it and I am happy for them.

      Barossa Realty, the family firm, is situated in Whistler’s main street. Ours is the only real estate agency in town. Though we aren’t cheap, we don’t overcharge our customers, making us a family firm to be proud of. Other realtors have tried and failed to take up the challenge of satisfying vogue customers who want to live by the beach. We especially serve the wealthy who ride the bandwagon of finding the beach a popular spot
