Excerpt

She’d been lied to.

Absence did not, in fact, make the heart grow fonder. In Natalie Daughtry’s experience, it only made it cooler and more detached. At least that was what seemed to be occurring between her and her husband of almost twenty-three years.

Natalie sighed as she slowed for a stop sign. After she’d left two voicemails on this sunny Friday morning, Mason had finally called while she was on her way to her new job. “It’s fine, Mason. There’s no sense driving home if you’d simply have to head back there Sunday for another game should you win tonight.” Though most of the boys on his high school team and their families planned to make the two-hour return drive from Peoria.

“If gas prices weren’t so high . . .”

Natalie’s mind drifted while Mason offered his excuses. There’d been a time when he’d been a broke college student who’d scrounge up change to drive three hours to see her. True, their bank account now wasn’t plump by any means—thanks to two sons in college and their move back to Kenton Corners, Illinois, which had required giving up her dream career—but they certainly weren’t hurting so badly that they couldn’t afford a tank of gas.

Seemed what Mason couldn’t afford was to spend time with her. Though he had no problem investing oodles of it with his teams. Ironic, since he used to call her his number one teammate.
