Extra words turned into special sections that told Lenore what she was reading was true. What's more, the e-reader she held in her hands was her lifeline (her tightrope) between fussy babies and dirty nappies, and the version of herself she left behind in English 102. But back to those extra words that played hide-and-seek amid the florid sentences of the third romance novel Lenore had read for the week. Those extra words floated or streaked by on her off-white screen. They turned into messages for Lenore's enjoyment and wonder. Lenore hadn't really given any thought to whether Sam and Kasey could read the same thing she did. If she ever decided to ask her friends to have a look, maybe they'd say it was a trick of the light. What were these extra words flickering across the e-reader screen which may or may not be for Lenore's eyes only?
"Leave your worries behind and meet me at the Bee & Thistle tonight at 8:00."
Lenore thought she could still fit into the jersey knit, hunter green wrap dress that once garnered many an appreciative glance.
