An Excerpt
River Jackson stood on the sidewalk and stared at the old Denver schoolhouse . The three-story building with its darkened windows looked like a multi-eyed creature staring back at him . A string of Christmas lights framed the entrance doors . Someone had attempted to bring this relic some holiday spirit .
He dragged fingers through his hair and glanced around The Grid neighborhood — tiny brick houses , some trimmed with Christmas lights , some with Christmas trees in the front windows . Most of the homes looked older than the schoolhouse , which had to be ancient .
This time of day , the area was quiet . Probably most of the neighbors were at work , but if anyone were home , would they wonder why the Denver Flyers ’ starting quarterback was standing in front of the old schoolhouse ?
Staring at the building , he wondered about the woman he ’ d meet — Mrs . Soledad Marcos .
