Time will tell

When Tessa stops by a clock shop, she meets one of the owners—and their instant connection proves the sweetest moments often arrive right on time

On a frigid Saturday morning, Tessa Winn pulled into the parking lot of Time and Again Antiques, a clock specialty shop. About a month earlier, she had come here with her sister and bought herself an antique porcelain clock. It was lovely, but it was her second choice. Her first choice was this elegant, graceful grandmother clock.

It was too expensive, but she was just going to check if it was still there. She walked in while smoothing her long red hair, and a young man about her age emerged from the back room.
