Leftover Love
“It was long, tedious work, checking through files and public lists. After a day and a half she had not come up with a single reference to a Martha Turner in any of the old records she’d checked.
It appeared more and more likely that the waitress had been right the other day when she’d suggested that Martha Turner might have gotten married and left the area. It was her only remaining alternative. On the off chance that the marriage might have taken place within Cherry County, Layne spent the mor...ning of the third day going through the marriage license records from twenty years ago and forward.
It was always a nagging fear of hers that after going through so many documents and names, she might miss seeing the one she was looking for and skip over it without recognizing it.

Eighteen years ago she had married a man named John Gray, and both had listed rural Valentine, Nebraska, as their home.MoreLess
