EXCERPT FROM 'CHRISTMAS IN
BONITA CREEK':
Estelle was so preoccupied with thoughts of ideas for their
project that she nearly forgot to stop by the mailbox on her way up the
driveway. She parked her bike and held her breath as she opened the mailbox
flap. She swept her hand through the opening until she finally touched gold—a
thick envelope that was stuffed into the dark corner of the back of the box.
She closed her eyes and prayed it was from Sam or John.
"Sam or John, Sam or John. Please let it be from my brother or my
fiancé," she spoke quietly. When she was holding the envelope in front of
her she opened her eyes. "It's from Sam. Yay!"
Her joy quickly faded as she noticed the handwriting on the
envelope was not the familiar slanted lettering of her brother's left-handed
scrawl. She knew sometimes when soldiers were critically wounded or killed in
combat that someone else would mail their personal effects home, including
letters the soldier may have dictated for loved ones to receive upon their
death.
Her wariness grew when she noticed the envelope was
addressed to 'Miss Estelle Vincent.' Usually
when Sam wrote to the family he addressed it to 'The Vincent Family' or 'The
George Vincent Family.' Estelle hoped there wasn't bad news inside that she
would be expected to share with her parents. To avoid any unnecessary drama
this evening, she would wait to open the letter until she was alone.
Estelle tucked the envelope into her dress pocket and parked
her bike in the garage before walking into the kitchen for a snack. She headed
down the hall to her mother's sewing room to greet her and find out how she was
doing.
"Hello, Mother."
Her mother looked up from her sewing with a puzzled look on
her face. "Estelle, why are you home so early? Are you feeling ill?"
"I worked my shift until 4:30, and then met with Gloria
at the library for over half an hour. It's close to 5:30 now."
Rosalie Vincent gasped. "I must have lost track of time
working on these pleats for the new skirt I'm making for you. I guess I got
lost in my thoughts and prayers about Sam and John."
