degree from the Gemological Institute of America. I sold my creations
off and on at craft fairs and it was really just a hobby while I worked

Getting friends together for an intimate gathering of great food, wine
and conversation has been one of the highlights of my life. It should
be an enjoyable time for everyone, including me (the hostess, chef and

figure out this mystery, but I needed a paycheck more. I’d only share
as much as I needed to with Nicole.
I considered hailing a cab and directing it to the Omni. What’s one meaningless ride further into the city for a dead end? A ploy to get my heart and mind racing about the possibility of meeting the only man in my life besides my son?
