Bethany Bunuel stood with her forehead pressed against the window gazing out onto the sweeping majesty before her. Just like a picture postcard, she thought, as she took in mist-shrouded inlets, craggy coasts and massive trees. Bethany had fallen in love with the rugged Australian Outback during a trip a few years ago. It had only taken her six months to decide to pack up her life in New York and come back for good.
Cranking open the casement window she luxuriated in the hit of oxygen that rushed to her lungs. The early morning sun was high overhead and her feathered friends--a red-capped robin and white-winged fairy wrens--were alighting on the bird feeder outside her window. Behind her the teakettle beckoned. Barefoot, Bethany padded back into the kitchen, where the smell of freshly baked bread greeted her. Taking the kettle off the stove she poured a cup of green tea and peered through the glass oven door at the golden brown dough.When the telephone rang, she knew it would be Carmine, owner of Dough Ah! Dear, the store that carried her baked goods.
"Good morning, Carmine," she chirped, feeling as lighthearted as the birds outside her open window.
"What?" Because he was deaf in one ear, Carmine tended to yell. "Who else do you have in your life?"
"So, I'm a loner," Bethany said.
