Excerpt Gravity Beach:
Mrs. Perkins, the principal, motioned to someone outside the door.
A few seconds later a man walked in wearing a U.S. Army uniform. Jolie would
know it anywhere. Ethan had worn one for more than half of their relationship.
The unbearable lump formed in her throat and her eyes filled with tears. She
tried to swallow her emotions down, but all she could see was Ethan. How he
would grab her up in a huge hug when he first returned home from a deployment.
She staggered back a step as her heart felt as though it stopped in her chest.
