door slammed in her face. At her wits end, she is alone, scared, and helpless
until Calvin comes along. He becomes a dear friend giving her kindness,

pushed to the back of her mind through selfish pain is back. Her past with all
its mistakes has come back to life!

“You okay Calvin,” he heard a female
voice.
He looked up and saw the owner of the
pub walking briskly toward him.
He sighed and felt the warm sun on his
face, forcing him to squint his eyes needing to put his sunglasses on.
“Yeah.”
“You don’t look it?” Miranda said, being
in her late forties and worked in every department in the pub, but today wearing
her apron guessing that she was head chef.
“I’m fine, just trying to think what to
do with my female friend.”
“What do you mean?”
“She has nowhere to stay, parents don’t
want her and I daren’t take her to my folks’ home as otherwise they would kill
me and then there are other reasons.”
“Is she the one who is expecting?”
“Yes, and no I’m not the father,” he
said before she jumped to conclusions aware how gossip spread like wild fire in
the village. The last thing he needed was becoming the village gossip and
people were always quick to assume.
“Like I would dare think you were and
anyway, I’m sure if you were about to become a father your mum would be
headlining it, they often talk about when are you going to give them a
grandchild.” She giggled.
“Yes, Mum does keep asking me when am I
settling down and giving her grandchildren.” He laughed. “However, no, she’s a
friend and, well needs somewhere to stay.”
Lovely premise and excerpt. Great job with that green Tuesday Teaser graphic too! Best of luck with Innocence!
