Why couldn’t she let him in? Why? It was as if everything in her body was on fire, and she couldn’t quite handle it and when she heard the bell jingle, she felt the crack in her heart begin to split open once again. She tried to pretend like she was okay for the patrons that were in the store...

Mags was silent as Clay greeted the customers and he was right she should have smiled and greeted them, but she knew they wouldn’t care, the town could care less about her. She was the outcast and that wasn’t going to change just because Clay was around again. It didn’t change when they were...

Magnolia had been more than a little reluctant to Clay actually helping out around the store, but he was now an investor so she couldn’t blow him off easily, well not as easily as she had wanted. Where her bills still piling up day by day? Absolutely. But she wasn’t about to let Clay know just...

Silence. Silence was the only thing Magnolia could feel as Clay spoke to her. She had been tired of trying to push him away, she couldn’t use the same line she had four years ago, she had done her damage and it had worked well. However, it seemed as though Clayton had healed enough to be around...

Fuck.Magnolia had no clue how to handle anything, how to even handle herself. It was as if a wave of her terrible choices came crashing back at her. She was barely floating above water, barely breathing and her only source of fresh air was poison. Every word he said hurt because he knew, and she...

Somehow life could never be easy for Magnolia, well at least not in Anchor Bay. All the years she had been in Anchor Bay the only time it had been easy was when she was a little kid. Middle school years and up had always been a struggle for her and really the only bright spot had been Clay and...

After the resounding day of Clayton finding out Mags’ secret, she had gotten him out of the store but not before he had asked her to call him. She never actually said she would, and she thought ignoring him would work. For the past three days her phone would ring, and she would send him straight...

A moment and everything stopped for Magnolia, her heart, her breath, her thoughts, and all she could do was stare at the bill in Clay’s hand. What could she say to him? The town hated her, and he never saw it, not when they were together and not when they broke up. She had always been disliked...

Magnolia couldn’t help but reminisce with Clay, all the moments she had shared with him not only in the town, but the bookstore itself. He had been right nothing had changed, except it had. She was causing it, books on sale, limiting her staff, and calling to get extensions for bills. Mags was...

Magnolia knew that inviting him to see the store would only bring more questions, but he had in fact been decent enough to buy her a new coffee, though that wasn’t really surprising. She had shrugged at his answer because she was already feeling the overwhelming wave of disappointment in...

Of course, Magnolia knew his family was still living in town, it hadn’t been like they had moved. She had talked with Graham on more than one account, he always brought Lucy by the store and he would try and talk about Clay. Almost any time Clay had been mentioned Mags had walked away, she...

Mags had been awaiting people to arrive to her display of books but most everyone had been walking past her. A few gave a quick glance in her direction but most of them just ignored her entirely. A few people whispered as they walked by and of course she knew exactly what they were whispering...

As much as Magnolia had wanted to wallow in her fear and struggles, she knew she had to set up for the sidewalk fair that was supposed to happen. It was some stupid town tradition that Mags never understood but her mom always participated, and that meant Mags had to participate every year. So...

It had been the same thing every day for the last four years. The same damn routine: Wake up, make some kind of breakfast, wake up her mom or at least attempt to wake her, and then Mags was on her way to open the bookstore. Magnolia had somewhere along the way accepted her life in the small town...
