Amber Lynn Thompson személy

“Everyone’s read the book, haven’t they?” It had been out a mere twenty-four hours and Amber had had a ton of texts and phone calls about it from people in town. So far, she had ignored every single one of them.
“He got me all wrong.” “You read it?”
“Of course. I have to know what I’m defending,” Amber said. “It wasn’t that bad. He got your charm right, I think.”
“You read it?” Ugh. There were scenes in there she definitely didn’t want her mother reading.
“Yes, and I brought you chocolate drops.” She pulled a cellophane package out of her shoulder bag and set it on the table. Which meant the book was that bad. Although the chocolate could also be a sympathy gift due to her recent breakup, or for the accidental recreational vehicle manslaughter.

“Scott?” Amber tapped his shoulder and he popped out of the bush, fumbling his radar gun. “Amber, never sneak up on an on-duty officer. I’m armed and trained to kill.” “Right. So? When were you going to tell me you’re leaving?”

Wait. He was a family man. That meant Amber had half siblings. In the period of a few days she had gone from an only child to having several siblings. It was a good thing she was sitting down already, otherwise she would probably have needed a chair.

She was thinking of him again. Why did every thought seem to act like a Scott-magnetized boomerang these days? It went out into the world perfectly fine, but always turned midflight and landed at Scott’s wonderful size eleven feet.

“You can’t leave Blueberry Springs.” Amber felt desperate, but she sucked in her courage, placing her hands on her hips to show she meant business. Scott looked up from his desk, a mechanical pencil poised between his large fingers.
“That’s something I normally say to people who are part of an ongoing investigation.”
“In the name of love, I am telling you not to leave town.”

She wanted to jump up, lean over the railing and shout out to the town that she, Amber Thompson, was in love with her best friend, Scott Malone. “As a friend?” he asked. “As a forever friend.”
