Chapter Thirteen
Gemma
I was leaving my last yoga class for the day, driving home and looking forward to spending some quality time grooming Charlie. I found that to be a soothing activity. The dashboard in my car lit up with an incoming call. My older brother’s name flashed on the screen.
I tapped the button to answer the call. “Hey, Neal.”
“Hey, sis. How’s Alaska?”
“Beautiful. I hope you can come up for a visit sometime soon.”
“I’m planning on it. I’d like to make it before the snow flies.”
“How’s life treating you?”
My brother was one of my favorite people. He was smart, kind, and funny. He was also a kick a*s attorney and handled cases specifically relating to environmental issues, his big passion.
“Life’s good. Busy with work.”
“What else is new?” I teased in return.
