But I knew I couldn’t force Thorn to do anything. It was up to him to figure things out, and Lord knew I hadn’t been much better way back when. I hadn’t been back to the bar since the incident, and I hadn’t heard from Fred, either. Was all this worry pointless? I sighed and finished getting dressed.
Memorial Day was six days away, and I would be working that whole weekend and Monday since the bookstore would be short-staffed. Business picked up a little during the holidays, what with the tourists in town, but it wasn’t unmanageable. A lot of our sales came from online purchases since this bookstore was the only one for miles, and people around here liked to buy local. Not everyone bought stuff from Amazon.
