Saint Christopher Medal
Althea shifted, crossed her legs with a rustle of silk. The silver dangling over his shirt
was a Saint Christopher medal, she noted. The patron saint of travelers.
She wondered if Mr. Nightshade felt the need for spiritual protection.

The Catholic Church honors medals as a form of religious
protection. These medals often represent one of our many beloved saints, one of
which is of Saint Christopher. The Saint Christopher Medal is one of the most
popular around the world because of his significance in the Catholic faith.
The Saint Christopher medal is believed to protect the
wearer on his or her travels. For this reason, many people wear Saint
Christopher pendants around their necks, on their wrists, and some even hang
the medals in their cars!
Who is Saint Christopher?

There was the usual pile of loose change on the dresser, along with a
Saint Christopher’s medal. She remembered the gris-gris in his glove
compartment and wondered how many other bases he’d covered.

♡ Happy Valentine's Day... On Your Own ♡
“She can come, too—to the dance.”
Now her eyeroll was absolutely sincere. “Cal, no woman wants to tag along with a
couple to a dance on Valentine’s Day. It paints a big L for loser in the middle of her
forehead, and they’re so damn hard to wash off.”

Being alone on Valentine's Day may leave you feeling like
the only person without a partner. It's easy to let the media, advertising, and
shopping malls make you feel like something is missing if you are not in a
relationship on this particular day.
There are many reasons why you may find yourself alone on
Valentine's day, both of your own choice and due to circumstances outside your
control.

"It's definitely number one of the modern-day Top Ten Most Romantic Evenings."
Jody expertly changed Charlie's diaper, cooing at him between commentary.
"It knocks that Valentine's Day carriage ride around the park and dozen white roses with
diamond-chip earrings attached that my cousin Sharon experienced down to a
poor second place. She's going to be peeved."

A New York cop found a shivering dog tied to a fence and became his new best friend
“More than likely, somebody dumped him.”
Instantly her affection for D. A. doubled. “Poor thing.”
“Ryder figures he can’t just leave him there, so he’ll take him back home—he stayed
with Mom a lot until he had the house closed in. So, he’d feed him, clean him up a little,
give him a place to flop for the night. He’d take him to the pound in the morning.
“That was six years ago.”
Sweet, she thought—not the usual adjective applied to Ryder Montgomery. “I guess it
was love at first sight.”
The Next Always

If Joe had shed any tears over his fate — tied to a fence in a New York City park — it would have been hard to notice for the puddle of water he sat shivering in.
