Maid for Love
“Linda referred to the barn as "the quicksand," because nothing that went in there to be fixed was ever seen again.
Mac navigated his way through the chaos, batting at spider webs on the way to the back corner, his heart pumping with excitement when he saw the white sheet. Just as he'd left it. A couple of old bicycles blocked his path, and Mac took a quick look to see if either of them would be suitable replacements for Maddie.
Dismissing them both, he said, "I'll get her a new one. Tha...t'll make her good and mad." He couldn't say why the idea of making her mad was so appealing, but he liked the spark of life that lit up her caramel-colored eyes when he challenged her.
Tugging on the sheet, he uncovered his first love—an orange Honda 250 motorcycle he'd bought from Ned two months after he got his license. His mother had flipped out—and ripped Ned a new one—but Big Mac had urged Linda to "let the boy be." The bike was already old when Mac bought it, but with his father's help, he'd lovingly restored it.MoreLess
