Diagnosis: Love
"Most of the time, yes. It's a small town in the middle of lots of country, in case you haven't noticed. Just about everyone knows everyone else, and if you didn't grow up with them, you're an outsider. But the people who work here have been friendly to me for the most part. We have a book club if you're interested. The last couple of times, we've met at my house, but it's supposed to circulate meeting spots. Let me know, and I can hook you up."
"I appreciate that." I rubbed my forehead. "My head is kind of spinning right now."
"First day blues." Jenny winced empathetically. "I get it. I got here a few weeks before we opened, but even so, that first day was . . . weird." Something flitted across her expression and was gone before I could figure out what it was. "Listen, as one non-Floridian to another, if you need any help getting settled, figuring out your way around . . . you know, like where's the best place to get a cup of coffee or buy chocolate or find shelf liner for your new place, give me a call." Reaching into
the pocket of her scrubs jacket, she tore a piece of paper from a pad and scribbled down her number. "I'm available day or night. My . . .ah . . . roommate is out of town right now, so don't worry about calling whenever you want."
