Leaves of Absence
Opal Moritz
Leaves of Absence is a forced proximity, grumpy-meets-sunshine (while sunshine is doing yoga poses outside their cabin) 10,000-word novella that proves a rest is as good as an empty inbox.
From Leaves of Abscence by Opal Moritz “ Aaahhhh !” The yell came from the guy in the door frame. He was blond, wearing a gigantic, white, puffy coat and holding various bulging bags. Despite his shock, Doug still registered that he was like a twink remix of the Michelin Man. Doug pointed at him. “Who are you?” “Isn’t this Pine Mountain Cottage?” The guy’s voice sounded spooked, but Doug was too taken aback to tone down his own voice. “Yes? Who are you?” Beneath his floppy hair, the guy’s eyes widened. “I’m Easton?” What kind of name was Easton? Trying to keep his voice even, Doug demanded, “How the hell did you get here?” Looking shell-shocked, the guy pointed his thumb over his shoulder. “An Uber from the train station?”
