Excerpt:
Taking a deep breath, he drew his shoulders back, unfisted his hands, and stepped toward the door of the shop.
It was time to confront his past.
A bell tinkled lightly as he stepped through the door. Immediately, the smell of freshly baked bread and warm yeast wafted past his nose. The delicious scents made his stomach rumble. That and the fact he’d skipped breakfast, unable to stomach the bland porridge served at the boarding house he was staying in for the moment. The old headmaster was still occupying the cottage which came with the position, the cottage which would be his when the running of the school became Archie’s responsibility next month. By the new year, he would be the headmaster of Rivenhall’s school.
The sound of a pan clattering to the floor startled him back into the moment.
“Mum, are you all right?” A male voice followed the loud crash.
A feminine squeak sounded and then a soft curse that was all too familiar. “Bloody hell!”
“Mum!” The boy—or man, really—sounded shocked.
Archie couldn’t hear her reply, so he stepped closer to the counter the two were currently crouched behind and cleared his throat. “She’s always cursed like a sailor.”
The young man popped up, clearly affronted on his mother’s behalf. “Excuse me, sir, this is none of your concern.”
Archie stared, but all he could see was Gertie. The man had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intensity that was all her. “My…my apologies for intruding. I’ve known your mother for many years.”
The man looked at him in confusion. “How could you know my mother? I’ve never seen you before.”
He heard Gertie groan from where she remained crouched behind the counter. Finally, she rose to her full height—all five foot, eight inches of her. She’d been a tall woman, though not taller than he was. “Sam, stop being rude to a customer.”
“Mum! He was rude first.” The young man crossed his arms over his chest and glared in Archie’s direction.
“Sam, I mean it. Now go run that bread to the Johnsons. They’ll be expecting it before lunch.” She pointed to the basket sitting on a nearby counter.
Was that flour on her face or had she paled at seeing him? He hadn’t changed so much she might not recognize him, had he?
Sam stared at Archie for a moment longer but begrudgingly turned to do as his mother had asked.
“Thank you, dear.” Gertie smiled at her son and then shooed him out of the bakery. “Go on, now. And don’t forget to stop by the Powels for payment on their last order.”
Archie waited impatiently as she managed her son out the back door. He was torn between kissing her and yelling at her.
“Yes, Mum.” He heard Sam reply just before he disappeared through the back door of the shop.
Then Gertie turned to face him, her face a mask of calm. “It has been a long time, Archie.”
