Coming April 2011...Pre-order on Amazon.
“So, you finally asked her out—”
“Correction, Rossi, Karyn finally said yes. That woman hustled me, probably without knowing it.” There was no way Levi would disclose how he eliminated more of Karyn’s excuses. While shopping for Dori, Levi went to Macy’s to pick up a suit. As he walked through the women’s section, Levi devised a plan after a dress caught his eye on a mannequin. He envisioned Karyn’s face and body.
Turning on the Tolliver charm, he approached three unsuspecting ladies—probably another act of stalking—and asked if they wouldn’t mind helping him out. They eagerly agreed to model outfits until they learned it was for a woman who wasn’t his mother, sister, or cousin. After telling them the sad story about his wife, two ladies relented. They tried on several dresses until one held his attention. Although another woman modeled it, Levi envisioned Karyn Wallace enhancing it. He guessed the woman was about Karyn’s size.
Besides his daughter, Levi had never bought a woman a piece of clothing before. Not even for his mother, Sharon, who preferred cash, or Diane, who enjoyed the thrill of ordering out of catalogs. On the rare occasions when Diane did venture into the malls, she never deviated from her routine: Go into a store with a mission, come out with it completed.
“Seriously, Rossi, it’s something about Karyn that makes me want to jump into the water whether I can swim or not. There’s a certain level of mystique about her and that fascinates me.”
Rossi barked out a laugh before sobering. “Sounds like a Tolliver man talking. I just hope she lives up to your hype.”
Levi removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes “Although I wasn’t actively looking for a lady, it’s as if God placed her right before my eyes, sorta like ‘Here Adam, take Eve.’”
“I hope Jesetta will see that as divine intervention.”
