Enjoy this peek inside:
How much longer was this going to take?
Jack Turner set down his end of a heavy black leather couch in the large display window of his family’s furniture business. The store had changed a lot over the years.
He turned around and took in the large showroom. It was twice the size it was when he was a kid. A wall had been taken down, turning part of their storage area into an expanded showroom floor. It had been his older brother’s idea.
As Jack looked around the place, he remembered how it had looked once upon a time. His mind conjured up the memories of the past. It was like the clock had been rolled back and he was once more a teenager, working in his family’s furniture store.
All six of his siblings had worked in the store at one point in their lives. Their father said it taught them responsibility and a lesson in hard work. They did get paid for their time, which most of them promptly spent at Whippy Dips, Island Flicks Theatre, or the Pedal On Bike Shop.
Those memories seemed so far away. A lot had changed since those days for his whole family. And now Kent was running the family business. Everything had worked out like it should have—except for him.
Jack thought by now that he’d be happily married with a family of his own. Well, he’d gotten married but it wasn’t long after that everything had fallen apart. There was an ache in his heart that would never go away.
“Hey!” Kent frowned at him.
Jack got the feeling his brother had been speaking to him but he had no clue what he’d said. “What?”
“What’s the matter with you?” Kent narrowed his gaze on him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“The past few months, you’ve haven’t been yourself. You’re quieter. And it’s like something is bothering you.”
Realizing he’d let thoughts of his past distract him, he gave himself a mental shake. “I’m just distracted with work. I’m working on a presentation and I’m hoping it’ll gain me a promotion.”
“Oh. I see.” Kent sent him a relieved look. “Congratulations.”
“Hey man. It’s way too soon for that word. I don’t need you to jinx me.”
“Sorry. I take it back. Am I allowed to wish you luck?”
Jack shrugged. “I suppose that wouldn’t hurt.”
“Good. Now back to work. This isn’t the right spot for the couch.” Kent glanced around the display area. “Move it back a foot.”
Jack didn’t want to lift anymore heavy furniture. This wasn’t his job. Still, his brother didn’t ask for help very often so he bent over and once more picked up the couch. He moved his end of the couch where he thought his brother wanted it.
“That looks good.” Kent turned and leaned against the couch with a sigh.
“If I knew you were going to make me work this hard, I would have had you put me on the payroll.”
