Snowflake Wishes (12 page)
Authors: Maggie McGinnis
Molly squeezed her eyes shut, rubbing her index fingers on her forehead. “Do you think Josie knows? I mean, I know she doesn't have anything to do with them, but⦔ She looked up. “Should we try to find her?”
“She knows. Diana apparently spoke to her this morning.”
“Is she ⦠going to come?”
“Yeah.”
“Well.” Molly edged her next nail into her mouth, nodding slowly. “Wow. But she'll be at the hospital, right? Not here. She wouldn't come back to the park, would she?”
Ethan took a long, deep breath. “I don't know.”
“She wouldn't. She hates it here. Camp Ho-Ho, right?”
“I know.”
“But you look worried.”
“I'm pretty sure Diana will want her at Mercy. Can't imagine why Josie would even want to set foot near this place.”
“Except ⦠Josie hates hospitals. And her mother.”
Ethan nodded. “That's what scares me.”
Molly stood up, pacing the small office. “So what's your plan?”
“Haven't had time to make one. We'll see, I guess.”
Molly winced as she got to the window and looked down at the courtyard. “Just a suggestion, but you might want a more concrete plan than âwe'll see' if Josie Kendrew walks through that igloo door down there. It's been ten years since you've seen her.”
“I'm well aware of that, Mols.”
“Are you going to head up to Mercy to see her?” Ethan could tell she was trying to keep the hurt out of her voice, but he could hear it anyway.
He shook his head, picturing an unworn tux, a set of shiny new wedding bands in a ten-year-old box.
“I don't know, Molly. I don't know
what
I'm going to do.”

Maggie McGinnis
is a
USA Today
bestselling author and Golden Heart Finalist who lives in New England, vastly outnumbered by both children and cats. She writes sweet romances set in Montana and Vermont, and feels extremely fortunate that through her books, she gets to fall in love every single day. She's a sucker for romantic comedies, popcorn, and the perfect green pen, and if she wasn't an author, she'd totally be rocking a Nashville club in her pink cowgirl boots. It's probably good that she embraced the author thing, because her singing skills are better suited to the shower, and really? Pink cowgirl boots?
