GOOD LUCK!!
EXCERPT
Gillian picked up after two rings. “Hello,
Gillian Sanderson here.”
Isabella tried to speak, but no words came
out.
“Hello. Is someone there? I can hear you
breathing.” Gillian’s tone became more playful. “If you’re one of those obscene
callers, you’ll have to develop a stronger breath. You sound a bit weak.”
“It’s me. Isabella.”
“Isabella who?”
“Isabella from the Mediterranean kingdom.”
There was a pause at the other end and then
a low laugh. “I hope you don’t plan to use that introduction with anyone else.
It will freak out the real humans.”
Isabella relaxed. “I’m still getting used
to my new identity. This is only my second day on earth.”
“And you decided to call me first? I’m
flattered.”
“I called Kendra first.” She quickly added,
“But that’s because she was listed as the first reference on my résumé.”
“And what did Kendra have to say for
herself?”
“There was no answer.”
“She’s chasing a man. When Kendra doesn’t
answer her telephone, she’s on the hunt for a rich, handsome man.”
“Hold on a minute. Why are you so
interested in managing without a man?”
“I was abandoned by Andrew and it appears
that I must find a man to survive on this earth,” Isabelle explained. “That may
not happen, so I need to find a way to endure before I lose my apartment and
run out of money.”
“Lose your apartment and run out of money?
Where are you?”
“I’m in Carden, Ontario.”
“Where on earth is that?”
“It’s a small town, forty miles west of
Toronto. I’m here because Annabella decided I had to get away from England.
That’s where Andrew left me.”
“So she buried you in a small town with
very few prospects.” Gillian paused. “Is there a large body of water nearby?”
“I don’t know. Let me check.” Barbara put
down the telephone and retrieved the map of Ontario that had fallen on the
floor. She located Carden and sighed as she measured the distance to Lake
Ontario. “It’s too far to walk.” She gasped as she realized her true predicament.
“I’m landlocked. I’ll die if I can’t be near water!”
“That may have been true in your mermaid
days, but not anymore,” Gillian said. “Annabella must be very angry with you.”
“I disappointed her when I chose Andrew
over the kingdom.”
“Or maybe she disappointed you.” Gillian’s
voice softened.
