Who Is Winston Conlee

Chapter 15
Since Abby’s school finished before Leon’s bank closed, he found her already waiting for him in their secret lover’s nook high above the river. There was a worried look marring her pretty face, and she barely waited for him to dismount before rushing into his arms.
“What are we going to do?” Abby wailed after exchanging hugs and kisses with her lover. She was nestled comfortably in his arms under the shade of their favorite tree. “I never expected to cause this much trouble. When I created Winston Conlee it was only because I wanted to get back at that stupid old Horndecker, and to get my stories published.”
Leon smiled down at his beloved, gazed into her troubled eyes and, since the opportunity presented itself, decided to steal a kiss.
“Well, since he’s offering $100 a story, it isn’t all that bad. “That’s way more than Horndecker pays you,” he tried to console Abby.
“Yes.” Abby giggled and her face broke into a beautiful smile. “At least now I’ve discovered how cheap he is. Do you know how greedy he is? When that Mr. Lang couldn’t find Winston, Horndecker offered to sell him MY stories for $100. Can you believe it? He acts like he owns MY stories, and he can’t wait to make money on them. I think he’d sell his own mother if he thought he could make a dollar out of her.”
Leon grinned. “Perhaps Winston Conlee has outgrown this town? Maybe he’s ready for the big time?”
Amy kissed Leon and squirmed delightfully in his arms. Her eyes grew big and round and sparkled with excitement. “You really think so? That’s what I’ve always wanted to do, just to teach and write my stories.”
