Another Man's Treasure, Part 2

After some time eyeing the new neighbor, Frances does the neighborly thing and sets out to get to know Daisy better.

But when she goes snooping through Daisy’s unpacked moving boxes and discovers a dark corner of the other woman’s past, will what Frances comes to know keep her away or draw the two women together?

Daisy doesn’t share her past with most but finds herself opening up to her nosey neighbor. Will she regret this decision or will Frances be just what Daisy needs in her life?

This is part 2 of Another Man's Treasure and is 8500 words long.

EXCERPT:

“I really wasn’t kidding Fran.” Daisy stood still, her back to the other woman.

Frances sighed, got herself up off the floor and made her way to Daisy’s tense back. She outlined the bra strap from beneath the wife beater, smoothing down the thick strap of the overall. She reached around and un-did one of the hooks, sliding her hand up Daisy’s strong neck, stopping when she noticed how painted over her hands and fingers were.

“Don’t do that if you don’t mean it Fran... I don’t think I could take it if you really didn’t mean that.”

Frances watched as Daisy’s shoulders began a gentle heave.
