When Abe Met Lane

<p>He wasn’t supposed to think about her.</p><p>He shouldn’t even remember her.</p><p>But ever since Abe Fujikawa visited Cristo’s Coffee he can’t get the beautiful barista out of his head.</p><p>At forty-two he’s too old to date someone in her twenties. She wouldn’t be interested in him anyway. Abe has too much baggage left over from his sham of a first marriage. Someone so free and young and unburdened wouldn’t want to take on a middle-aged man and his teenage daughter.</p><p>But none of that stops Abe from returning to Cristo’s hoping that he’ll be the one man out of her many admirers that Lane admires back.</p><p>This novella was written as prequel to The Other Lane but can be read as a standalone story. When read in conjunction with The Other Lane it adds depth and understanding to Abe’s character.</p>
