When Chad sought inspiration for a new love story, he hardly knew what he was looking for, but bumping into the singular, June, has him wondering if she is the muse he's been waitin...
Somewhere in a sparse shared room, in a secure, around-the-clock care hospital for the mentally ill, a certain someone twirled a distinct Pink Panther in her hands, as she did every night before lights out.
"What's that you got?" her new roommate asked.
"A gift from my husband." Cassie smiled. "A little reminder of why I have to get better and get out. He's waiting for me."
"That's nice."
"It is, isn't it?" She twirled the toy in her hand with a twinkle in her eyes till the lights turned out came. "And he is mine."
The roommate watched the Panther in Cassie's hand like it was a prized possession she wished to get her hands on. "I hope we can be friends. Tell me all about him?"
Cassie turned her head with a toothy smile and sparkling eyes. "His name is Zachary Eve. Do you know him? He's a famous author."
