      Goodbye, September - Heather Michelle

      Author’s Note

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you for taking a chance on a brand-new author! Your support means more than you could ever know. I truly hope you enjoy this short, complimentary prequel to the full-length Christmas novel, December Wishes. In this novella, you’ll meet Quinn Presley when she’s at her most vulnerable. Sometimes life knocks us down, shakes us up, and completely throws us off course. Those are the moments that define us. That’s when we get back up and see we’re exactly where we need to be.

      This isn’t the end of Quinn’s story. It’s just the beginning...

      All my thanks,

      Heather Michelle

      Chapter One

      I remember my first day in New York City. I was Annie and the city was Daddy Warbucks. I grew up in a small town in Georgia, so the second I stepped foot off the airplane at La Guardia, euphoria kicked in. I’m talking high gear. The skyline, the people, the food, all of it was every bit the quirky, noisy, beautiful uniqueness I thought it would be. Eight years later, I’m still just as in love with it as I was the very first day. I still can’t get used to the smell, though. I’m not sure anyone ever does.

      The concrete pavement stretches on for miles as I walk the familiar four block path from my dance studio to my apartment. I look away from the window display of one of my favorite boutiques long enough to spot a single flower springing from a crack in the sidewalk. Its stem is wilted, and its petals are nearly all gone. The dense sidewalk crowd is growing denser by the minute, with many of the people too distracted to notice it. I know that tomorrow this flower will be gone, but I step over it anyway. I swallow the lump in my
