Kneading You<\/a><\/em> (2019) C.S. Poe<\/a> (A Lancaster Story)<\/p>\n

\"Kneading<\/a>I needed some happy fluffy with outside conflict (not internal angst).<\/p>\n

Christopher Hughes is is applying for what he hopes will be his dream job–librarian in the small town to which he has moved. But a local businessman wants to tear down the building and put up a shopping mall, so Christopher has to prove not just his worthiness for the job, but that the library deserves to exist.<\/p>\n

“This library is not cost-effective. It\u2019s really that simple.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s not about making money,\u201d I declared. \u201cIt\u2019s about having a safe and free place for people to come and learn!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then the local handyman walks into his life. <\/p>\n

\u201cUh\u2026. Everything all right?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe dated for two years. I broke up with Sam three months ago. It wasn\u2019t an amicable end.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d <\/p>\n

Miles took my hand and led the way out of the tent and toward the vendor booths. \u201cSomeone who loves you shouldn\u2019t want to change you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s just a sweet story, with the angst on the outside of the couple, not between them.<\/p>\n
