life, and discover the person she was meant to be, in order to save…

Excerpt
I
rounded the corner to the health and beauty department when the phone
rang again. “Hi, Aaron.”
“Tessa,
we have a case. Can you meet me in Winter Park in an hour?”
I
stopped in the middle of the aisle and hung my head. “I’m at the
store. What kind of case?”
“Suicide
from the sound of it. The deceased’s partner found him hanging from
a tree in the backyard.” Aaron’s voice lacked its usual humor.
He’d either had a late night or rough day, maybe both.
“Sure.
Text me the address. What’s the victim’s name?” I had no idea
what I would do with the room full of people waiting for me at the
house, but skipping out on dinner with Darlene made me happy.
“Thanks,
Tessa. You’re a doll. Partridge. The deceased’s name is
Partridge.”
I
glanced around to make sure no one was watching before I loaded two
containers of Mae’s fiber mix into the cart. “What kind of tree
was it?”
“Orange
tree, why?”
It
was probably a sin to laugh at the dead, but I couldn’t help it.
“We have a Partridge in an orange tree.”
Aaron
groaned. “I’ll send the address. Try to hurry.”
