Sara David Excerpt: At the Studio

Hi! My novel is called Sara David. It's a mystery starring Sara Leslie and her former boyfriend and business partner, David Stonard. In this excerpt, they are at David's woodworking studio/retail shop, and Sara is going home for dinner with her beloved husband, Steve. Dave is seeing her off.

Are you taking off?"

"Don't sound so hopeful. Yes, I'm just trying to figure out how to get the bags into the car."

Dave looked down at her. "You could. . .carry them? Or maybe you want me to volunteer?" She smiled too big, then looked down and kicked her toe on the cement floor. Dave mussed her hair as he went by. "Only because I have to get the bike down anyway. Steve wouldn't let you get away with this."

"He doesn't have to. He has you to do it for him."
