Everything happens for a reason...
Mama had told Juliette that so many times over the years and so often during the long months of her terminal illness. Not wanting to argue with or upset an invalid, Juliette had just nodded as if sheâd agreed with her. But she hadnât really. She had seen no reason for Mama getting sick and dying, no reason to work two jobs to pay off Mamaâs medical bills and her own community college tuition.
But as she stared up at the little blond-haired angel sitting atop the playground slide, her heart swelled with love, and she knew Mama had been right. Everything happens for a reason, and Pandora was that reason.
Her daughter was Julietteâs reason for everything that had happened in the past and for everything that she did in the present.
âIs it too high?â she called up to the little girl whoâd convinced Juliette that since turning four, she was old enough to go down the big kid slide. She was small for her age, though, and looked so tiny sitting up so high that a twinge of panic struck Julietteâs heart.
Maybe she was just uneasy because it looked as though it might start storming at any moment. The afternoon sky had turned dark, making it look more like dusk than five thirty. Since July in Red Ridge, South Dakota, was usually hot and dry, rain would be a welcome reliefâas long as it came without lightning and thunder, which always scared Pandora.
Juliette probably shouldnât have stopped at the park that apparently everyone else had deserted for fear of the impending storm. But when sheâd finished her shift as a Red Ridge K9 officer, and had picked up her daughter from day care, the little girl had been so excited to try the slide that she hadnât been able to refuse.
