Tuesday Tidbit

This is the unedited, current first paragraph of "The Blessing Basket," the thirteenth novella in the Holiday, USA series:

Trace Brown envied his boss. Plenty of women expressed an interest in the owner of Holiday Diner, but he'd never noticed, at least that's what Trace had heard. He'd watched the old man date and marry a woman as old as he was. In their mid-fifties, weren't they too old to act so mushy? The couple were so obviously in love the sweetness made Trace's teeth ache.
