Julie
Snow is coating the town, and it makes the town look like a
postcard. The old original buildings that line Main Street have stark white
dust on the awnings and overhangs. Lights glow in the gray, overcast light.
It’s downright cozy.
We’re used to the snow here, so it’s business as usual. A couple of
the bridge ladies are in this morning, just like always, the only difference
being the number of layers they are bundled up in.
I’m attempting to get the last of the restocking done for our family
market. We run the town store in Greyson Ridge and have since the town
started during the Gold and Silver Rush. Somehow, despite my older
brothers initially committing to running the store, I am the only one here.
My brother Greg swears up and down that he’ll move back home
and help run it when “the time is right.” Meanwhile, I am about to turn
thirty and am still not in college. I’m here, taking care of the shop in his
place.
Dad is too old to be around daily like he used to. He still tries to
make it up to the store a couple times a week to check in on things. I’m
pretty sure the only reason Mom comes in for the bit of time she does is to
catch up on the town gossip.
Most days, she’s only here for an hour before she wanders off in
search of some fresh scandal, like someone not mowing their yard or
whatever new rumor about my friend Bernadette is circulating.
Mom is settled in on the stool up at the front counter, gossiping with
Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Lettie. I’m doing my best to tune them out as I label and
arrange boxes of pasta. My mind wanders to the book I’m reading. I would
much rather live in my head with my fictional characters where I can escape
the monotony of my day.
I put a single headphone back in one ear with my audiobook,
picking back up where George and Clara left off their argument. Such
angst. I could live off other people’s drama in books and be entirely
satisfied in life.
“You know, Susan, we should try to get Julie to go out with my son,
Kyle,” Mrs. Lettie says as if this isn’t the twentieth time she’s suggested it.
Her words filter through my attempt to focus on the plot in my ear.
Maybe I should just put both headphones in if they’re in
matchmaker mode today.
“Julie, why don’t you do something with that hair of yours? You
could be so pretty if you just made it less frizzy,” Mrs. Lee comments
around sips of her coffee, dragging me out of my daydream and back to
reality.
