“I’m so glad that everyone made it for Sue’s going away party,” Darcy said loudly. She looked out and saw so many faces she recognized. Clara Barstow, Blake Underwood and Evelyn Casey, Linda and her boss Marla and all the others. “This town has always been a place where good people come together to help each other. We’re losing a good friend as Sue goes off to fulfil her dream.” Applause rippled around the room and Darcy had to pause to let it die down.
“We’re also going to welcome a new friend today,” Darcy went on. “Can we all say hello to Izzy McIntosh, and her daughter Lilly?”
There were murmured hellos and whispered questions among everyone, and a few people came over to introduce themselves personally to an obviously flustered Izzy.
“Before Sue leaves, we want to show you what we’ve been working on.” Everyone’s attention was back on Darcy again. She nodded to Sue, and Sue nodded back, and both of them took a corner of the tablecloth to lift it up and over with a little flourish.
Underneath was a stand-up display made from heavy duty yellow cardboard. Across the top of the display were tall red letters. “A Library in Your Hands,” it read. In the display itself were three rows of neatly stacked e-readers, all in brand new boxes.
Approving murmurs rippled through the room. “I am proud to announce,” Darcy said, “that the Sweet Read Bookstore is now offering e-readers for sale, along with a slew of your favorite books in electronic format to purchase or rent.”
Darcy smiled over at Sue. “Thank you,” she whispered. “You did a great job on this.”
The young woman, one of Darcy’s best friends, came over and hugged Darcy tightly. “I’ll miss you,” she said.
“I’ll miss you, too.” Darcy was surprised to feel tears in her eyes. A mix of emotions swept through her. She had spent so much of her life being the oddball, but in moments like these she could see how truly loved she was, and how many friends she had.
Misty Hollow was truly a wonderful place to live. Fate had led Izzy and Lilly to just the place they needed to be when they were in trouble.
Of course, trouble always found Darcy Sweet. She knew another mystery would come to town soon enough. They always did.
