April's Promise — Holly Schindler

Forever Finley Short Story #5: A tale of long-distance relationships -- the sort in which “distance” refers not to the miles that stretch between you, but the miles you've traveled together.

Patricia has participated in the April's Promise Couples Race every year of her three-decades-long marriage with her husband Timothy. This year, though, they find themselves facing a slew of new challenges that steal their second winds and force them to question whether they'll make it past the finish line.

April's Promise is part of the Forever Finley Short Story Cycle, a series of stand-alone short stories releasing once a month throughout 2016. Previous releases in the series include Come December, January Thaw, Forget February, and Dearest March… Stories following April's Promise include Mayday Mayday Mayday, Chasing June, A Hundred Julys, Under the August Moon, Song for September, October Omen, and the Forever Finley Finale (Pale November / December Bells). Stories can be purchased individually, or readers can purchase the entire Forever Finley collection.
