AS SIGNS FROM heaven went, this one seemed fairly prosaic.
No choir of angels, no booming voice from above or anything like that. It was simply a hand-lettered placard shoved into the seagrass in front of the massive, ornate Victorian that had drifted through her memory for most of her life.
Apartment For Rent.
Julia stared at the sign with growing excitement. It seemed impossible, a miracle. That this house, of all places, would be available for rent just as she was looking for a temporary home seemed just the encouragement her doubting heart needed to reaffirm her decision to pack up her twins and take a new teaching job in Cannon Beach.
Not even to herself had she truly admitted how worried she was that sheâd made a terrible mistake moving here, leaving everything familiar and heading into the unknown.
Seeing that sign in front of Brambleberry House seemed an answer to prayer, a confirmation that this was where she and her little family were supposed to be.
âCool house!â Maddie exclaimed softly, gazing up in awe at the three stories of Queen Anne Victorian, with its elaborate trim, cupolas and weathered shake roof. âIt looks like a gingerbread house!â
Julia squeezed her daughterâs hand, certain Maddie looked a little healthier today in the bracing sea air of the Oregon Coast.
âCool dog!â her twin, Simon, yelled. The words were barely out of his mouth when a giant red blur leaped over the low wrought-iron fence surrounding the house and wriggled around them with glee, as if heâd been waiting years just for them to walk down the beach.
The dog licked Simonâs face and headbutted his stomach like an old friend. Julia braced herself to push him away if he got too rough with Maddie, but she neednât have worried. As if guided by some sixth sense, the dog stopped his wild gyrations and waited docilely for Maddie to reach out a tentative hand and pet him. Maddie giggled, a sound that was priceless as all the sea glass in the world to Julia.
âI think he likes me,â she whispered.
âI think so, too, sweetheart.â Julia smiled and tucked a strand of Maddieâs fine short hair behind her ear.
