Pinkie: A Short Story
Listing Details
Recent divorcee Rebecca has returned to Utica, NY to give back her ex’s diamond ring and put that whole sad episode of her life behind her once and for all. As she boards the train to return to her new home in Richmond, VA, she is determined to take a hiatus from relationships. And next time around, she’ll make sure she spends a good long time getting to know a guy before jumping into any kind of romantic commitment. There’s only one problem: the attractive young man in the seat next to hers exudes old-fashioned southern gentleman charm, gives her a nickname right off the bat that she kind of likes, and he happens to be going almost as far as she is. When track trouble slows their trip down to a crawl, Rebecca finds herself rethinking how long it really takes to fall in love.
