Beautiful Attractions near Los Angeles, CA

Introduction

Los Angeles is home to some of the most beautiful attractions in California. You can enjoy nature, culture, and history all in one place! Here are some of my favorite places to visit near Los Angeles:

Griffith Park and Griffith Observatory

Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States and it's also home to Griffith Observatory. This popular tourist attraction offers plenty of activities for families, couples looking for a date night or friends who want to get away from it all.

The observatory has an IMAX theater that shows films about space exploration and astronomy; there are also exhibits on how telescopes work. To explore this historic site you can take guided tours or visit any time during regular business hours (Monday through Saturday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM). If you'd like more information before visiting please call 213-937-1414 ext. 3201 or email [email protected]

Venice Beach Boardwalk

If you’re looking for a place to relax and take in the sights, Venice Beach is the perfect destination. The beachfront neighborhood is home to many attractions, including:

The Venice Boardwalk: This 1.5-mile (2.4 km) long pedestrian promenade along the ocean front is part of the Venice Beach Recreation Center. It offers views of Santa Monica Bay and has been used in many movies including “Gothika” and “The Wedding Singer.”

Muscle Beach: This beachside gymnasium was built by Joe Weider at his Muscle Beach facility in Santa Monica, California during 1936-1937 as part of his vision for developing natural bodybuilding into an Olympic sport; he hoped that this would encourage healthy living among Americans by promoting exercise as well as competition between individuals who wanted to build up their bodies without steroids or other performance enhancing drugs being involved!

Phelan

Phelan is a town in San Bernardino County, California, United States. The population was 5,922 at the 2010 census. The name comes from George Wiley Phelan and his wife Mary Elvira Woodward Phelan who opened their ranch here in 1875. Phelan is a town in San Bernardino County, California, United States.

Apple Valley

Apple Valley is a small town in the San Bernardino Mountains, about an hour north of Los Angeles. It's known for its apple orchards and the Apple Festival that takes place every year on October 18th.

There are many attractions in Apple Valley:

The Tree Museum is a great place to learn about trees and their importance throughout history as well as today's efforts toward conserving them through education programs such as Tree-Tops from Forest Learning Center (which you can access via this website).

The Museum of History & Science houses exhibits on local history such as early pioneers who built homes here when it was considered wilderness; displays on natural resources like plants and animals; interactive science experiences for kids including a planetarium show called “Lightning Strikes!” which explores lightning strikes around the world through animation projected onto giant screens above your head while standing inside an auditorium-style space with over 2,000 seats!

Take a day off to visit one of these amazing attractions.

Carrie’s 1985 Esquire interview

https://classic.esquire.com/carrie-fisher/

This is the interview that got her a deal to write “Postcards from the Edge.”

HOME: Los Angeles, California

AGE: Twenty-eight

FATHER: Eddie Fisher

MOTHER: Debbie Reynolds

MOST FAMOUS STEPMOTHER: Elizabeth Taylor

OEUVRE: Shampoo, the Star Wars trilogy, Garbo Talks, Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video

UPCOMING OEUVRE: Stan Dragoti’s The Man with One Red Shoe and Woody Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters

LAST BOOK READ: West with the Night by Beryl Markham

FAVORITE LINE FROM LAST BOOK READ: “Life is life and fun is fun, but it all goes quiet when the goldfish die.”

At age eleven Carrie Fisher was copying lines from Maugham’s Of Human Bondage into her diary. She dropped out of high school after becoming a chorus girl in her mother’s Broadway show Irene and made her movie debut as a teenager who sleeps with Warren Beatty in Shampoo. She attended London’s Central School of Speech and Drama and at eighteen got a leading part in a science-fiction film called Star Wars that made her character, Princess Leia Organa, a pop-culture heroine.

We meet her at her rustic L.A. ranch house, where a blue neon VACANCY sign hangs outside the kitchen door. She is wearing black-based striped pants, a deep fuchsia sweater, and unmatched earrings—one an oversize face and the other a small globe of the earth. Fisher’s secretary sits in the kitchen answering fan mail, her housekeeper does the laundry, and a friend talks to Fisher’s myna bird.

Our conversation moves to various settings: on the wooden swing in her bedroom, in the backyard between the pool and the full-size plastic cow (a sign at the front gate warns BEWARE OF THE COW), on a drive to Knott’s Berry Farm in her blue BMW with Bruce Springsteen blasting in the background. Her life is proof of her favorite T-shirt of the moment: IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO HAVE A HAPPY CHILDHOOD.

On Being America’s Niece

“I can have an entire country of people come up to me and say, ‘You have your mother’s eyes, your father’s nose, your mother’s mouth, your first stepmother’s legs.’ I grew up in a big small town called America. My parents were ‘America’s Sweethearts,’ and I think I’m ‘America’s Niece.’ I look like your niece, someone who you could bring home to your whole family and it would work.”

How She Picked Her Parents

“Early on, people used to ask me, ‘What’s it like to be Debbie Reynolds’s daughter?’ And I would say, ‘You mean compared to when I wasn’t?’ That portion of time when I lived with the Andersons and then moved in with the Wilsons for a while; you know, to sample each form of growing up—being an accountant’s kid and a car salesman’s kid and so on—until I finally arrived at being a movie star’s kid, liked that, and said, ‘Let’s stay here, this is fabulous, we’ll go with this one.’”

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“My family is really the epitome of an unfilmable Dynasty. I call us blue-blooded white trash, and there’s an obsession in this country with that kind of thing. I sometimes believe certain things I read about myself. You know, you have a transcendental experience in front of the National Enquirer and think, ‘Of course, why, that must have been true what I read about myself. I am going out with Andrew Stevens.’ I made a horrible mistake—I thought I was going out with Andrew and I called him, and he was going out with somebody else. It turns out he’s just my neighbor.”

May Divorce Be with You

“A few years ago I found these scrapbooks of my parents’ breakup in my mother’s attic—someone had actually compiled them and sent them to her at the time. I looked through them and discovered a lot of things I didn’t know about it, which is an amazing thing to do when you’re sliding through your twenties and your parents have been broken up your entire life. I realize now, of course, that they’ll never get back together. And now I hear that the child of the woman who sent these things to my mother is compiling the scrapbook on my marriage to Paul.”

So What Went Wrong with Her Marriage to Paul Simon?

“Once I was on this talk show hosted by this child psychologist who kept asking me questions like, ‘When did you realize your father was a horrible human being?’ And finally I said to him, ‘You wanna hear about the wire hangers, don’t you?’ Questions about my marriage are ‘wirehanger questions,’ and no matter how I answer them they’re wired to blow, no pun intended. ”

What About the Book on Her Friend John Belushi?

“I think Woodward is brilliant at that wire-hanger aspect of life. I hear that he’s going to be playing Belushi in the movie version of the book: ‘Bob Woodward IS Wired!”

Drugs

“It’s very good to get through them while you’re still young, and then talk about how great or bad they were for the rest of your life.”

What’s the Difference Between New York and L.A.?

“Three hours. Most people know that. I’m stunned that you don’t.”

What It’s Like to Be Her

“I feel like I’m the doctor and the patient, but a lot of times the doctor isn’t in. I operate at such a level that sometimes it feels dangerous. If I fell off the edge of myself, I don’t know how long it would take to get back up. People think that I’m on drugs because of this velocity of being. And at the same time it’s slow enough for me to be aware of it. Like when I just said ‘velocity of being, ’ I liked the sound of it. ”

Why 60 Watts of Rock?

“In the face of something operating at full throttle, I can finally relax. That’s my form of meditation. My system is recharged in the presence of great rock ’n’ roll, it’s a very high testosterone outlet. Movies are very estrogen—they take you in, give you a house, make you dinner while you warm your feet by their fire. My mother brought me up on them. The Philadelphia Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, Bringing Up Baby—those are my black-and-white teddy bears. But rock ’n’ roll grabs your ear, wrestles it to the ground, and slaps a big wet kiss on it.”

Kids Say the Darndest Things

“I was photographed at an age when I was helpless to do anything about it—two hours. You can tell from the distressed look on my face in all my childhood pictures that I don’t like to be photographed. One time when I was five or six my governess took a picture of me and she was very tight to my face, and I said, ‘No ECUs, no ECUs.’ I hate extreme close-ups, even now.”

O Mein Papa

“David Letterman said he’d heard that my father sang everywhere, and I said, ‘Yes, the world is his shower.’ And often he likes to use women for soap.”

A Night to Remember

“I came home one night when I was sixteen, and there was blood all over the bedroom. My brother Todd had accidentally shot himself with a blank. The next day the Daily News headline was PICASSO DIES, and under it was a picture of my brother, and my mother in a mink hat. We were still up at 8:00 in the morning after this whole night at the police station, my brother was in the hospital, Picasso was dead, and all these photographers were at our door because the big story, in all the confusion, was that my mother had shot my brother, and she and I were discussing why she’d done it: ‘Well, you know, he wouldn’t clean his room.’ Or, ‘He never fed his turtle or brushed his teeth, so I finally had to penalize him in a way he’d understand.’ Someone came up to her in the hospital and said he thought it was a publicity stunt for her play Irene, and she said, ‘Yes, I shot him, and I only have one other child to shoot for publicity for the next play, so obviously there’s just one play left.’”

Something She’s Noticed About the President

“A good actor would have this thing down of not looking so expectant between sentences. You have to conceal the fact that you are waiting to talk, and look like you’re listening. He never looks like he’s listening; he’s always waiting to talk. He becomes an entire energetic called ‘President Waiting to Talk.’ Also, he’s not funny, but he really wants to be. I don’t want someone to want to be funny. I want him to be funny, or not.”

Favorite Bumper Sticker

“LOVE IS THE LIBERACE MUSEUM. That expressed it so succinctly for me, and I felt better having that clearly stated on my vehicle.”

Oh, and One Other Thing About the President

“He’s melting. No one’s noticed yet, but he is melting. We’re talking about a semisolid mass with dark hair. If the Democrats had come out and just said, ‘He’s melting,’ I think they would have done much better. I usually don’t talk about this unless someone looks like he also knows—if you know the President’s melting, you know how to identify other people who know that too. It’s going to be a real flood when he finally goes into total liquidation.”

Will She Ever Play Princess Leia Again?

“Yes, the Yiddish Theater has asked me to do it.”

Suvivor testimony - Trinity Teen Solutions

I attended Trinity as a teen and have since tried to forget the trauma that happened to me while I was there but have found myself 5 years later, still tortured by the memories. I was your typical rebellious teen- experimenting with alcohol and drugs, defiant, hanging out with older boys, and depressed. However, the punishment I received at trinity for being this way is something I would never wish on my worst enemy. All Trinity did was confuse and lie to my family, and further traumatize me. I was sitting in a car one day after I got out drinking and smoking weed with my old friends 100 times MORE self destructive, alone, and sad than I was the day I went to Trinity. The affects of Trinity led me to be a serious hard drug abuser, something I was never destined to be coming from my loving and supporting family that was only trying to help me. I had no other way to numb the memories and pain. Every other girl I attended with had similar fates- either became serious junkies, or became promiscuous and had children out of wedlock because they were only searching for love and to numb the memories as well. I am being totally honest when I say this- I WOULD HAVE RATHER BEEN IN JAIL.

Why? Many reasons. One, in jail you actually know how long you are going to be there. Trinity is on a "need to know basis." So unless it is information you need to know in a life or death situation, it is withheld from you. The MONTHS never knowing when you will be able to see your family again or be treated like a human being are torture. Two, you can talk to other people in jail and rely on each other for support. At Trinity, the girls are not in any case allowed to be friends or talk to each other without permission. No one is allowed to know why the other one is there. Theyre encouraged to tattle on each other and punished if they do not. This creates a lonely and depressing environment versus having other girls there for support and to share similar struggles with. Three, if you are doing well you will get out sooner and vice versa. At Trinity, no matter what you do, you will be accused of faking it and lying and problems will be made up by staff for you, anything in order to tell your parents you need to be kept there longer. It is biased and decided by unqualified "life coaches" that have simply received an undergrad degree in something like psychology and has no training. I was once told by one of these staff members that I was getting too close with another girl and every time I looked or spoke to this other girl I was tacking on a few months to my stay at Trinity. My final reason is you are given adequate hygiene, food, and clothing in jail. At Trinity, every girl there even though we were all different sizes and body builds were FORCED to eat the exact same portion every single meal and if they didn't eat something on their plate? Punished. This was too much for some girls and never enough for others. Showers were maybe once a week in cold water for 5 minutes. And the underwear, bras, and clothing were reused by girls for over 20 years- it was ratty and disgusting. One girl came back as a staff member 10 years after she had been there and said she recognized her sweat pants and hoodies she wore at age 15. This is pretty amusing to me since TRINITY COSTS NEARLY $300 A DAY. Yet they spent none of this money on clothing or anything else really. Food was ordered cheaply in bulk and the girls made every thing themselves- low cost pasta and rice meals- and if anything started getting used to much and became "too expensive" it was immediately nixed. I was once reprimanded for using the too expensive avocados.

Angie Woodward, the owner. How that name makes me cringe. She is the lovely lady responsible for harming so many teen girls and scamming hundreds of people into dumping her loads of cash for her multiple homes, vacations, and boats, cars, horses, ATVs, etc. that she parades around the girls and rubs in their faces while they are slaving away on her ranch. Angie's father owns the trouble teen boys ranch down the road and is where she learned all of these shaming and fear tactics for the clients and families. The only difference between the two ranches is that the boys one has been closed for abuse, neglect, and fraud, while Angie's is surprisingly still open! She claims to have years of experience and be our on staff nurse but I think I only saw her twice in the whole year and a half I was there- like I said she was busy vacationing. She hires 24 years olds fresh out of undergrad to carry out the dirty work instead who are too fresh in the world and naive to know they are doing something wrong- although a few figured it out and left and have written reviews here themselves that are negative but have been removed. Ill spare you the details of the abuse and neglect that goes on at Trinity- all you need to know is it is a scam with false advertising, AND YOU SHOULD NEVER SEND YOUR DAUGHTER HERE.

1X02

1x01 |

Tazia rolled over in the bed, Fletcher laying shirtless next to her above the sheets. The room was dark except for the glow of two phones. She gently pushed the blankets off her body as she took her phone of the charger.

20 missed calls.

She glanced back to make sure Fletcher was asleep before slipping into the bathroom. She locked the door and sat in the large jacuzzi tub as she took a deep breath before hitting call on the first number.

It didn’t ring long, “Ana.” The voice was relieved for a moment but layered with something else.

“Hey Key.” Her voice unsteady, “is it true, or did I make a total fool out of myself on National TV for no reason.”

“It’s true Ana, Willa is really gone.”

“How did Mom take it?” She wrapped her arms around herself, keeping her eyes on the door.

Her brother sighed, “Not good, not as dramatically as you, but um, not well.”

“And Dad?”

“He’s been sitting in his den since he got home today.”

“At least Belle is with you.”

“She’s out of town, she’s on a girl’s weekend with some college friends. She won’t have phone service until she comes back on Monday.”

Tazia scrunched her face up, “I’m sorry.” She looked away from the door, “I’m going to come home. I’ll be on the first flight in the morning.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, I can sneak into the state pretty undetected. Besides, people will just think that I’m going to rehab. That’s the narrative surrounding me right now, isn’t it?”

“Unfortunately.” He wanted to say more, “You can stay at my place, instead of the ranch.”

“I’ll figure it out, I don’t want to impose on you and Belle.”

“You’re my sister, my other half Ana.”

“Do you think Mom would let me stay at the ranch?”

“Dad will, and she would just have to accept it.”

“I’m going to go and book a flight right now.”

“Ana, please don’t bring Fletcher.”

“I had no intention of doing so. He can hang out in LA for all I care.” Tazia let her eyes drift to the door again, “I don’t want him to know about Willa, I don’t want that as part of my story.”

Keaton sighed, “Willa is a part of our story, if she wanted to be or not. I don’t think you need to share it. I don’t think any of us need to share it.”

“Kara showed up, didn’t she?”

“Yeah, she brought a casserole.”

“Hey Key.”

“Yeah Ana?”

“Is it true we have a niece?”

“Yeah, but that is a whole other can of worms I’m not ready to open. We can talk about that when you get home.”

“Yeah, I’ll text you the details. I love you Key.”

“I love you too Ana.”

Belle rested her forehead against Mitch’s, their bodies glistening from the evening activities so far. Every touch felt deeper, filled with more passion then she could remember every feeling outside of this cabin.

Mitch kissed her neck, his fingers feathering down her body. “I can’t get enough of you.”

She moaned at his touch as he pulled her closer for more. Any thoughts, any care for her life outside of the cabin were forgotten as she allowed herself to get lost in the moment. Clinging to Mitch she cried out his name as she threw her head back on the couch.

His put his foot on the floor to regain balance, hitting the TV power button as he did so.

This afternoon pop star Tazia collapsed on live television before performing her latest single. Her manager Fletcher Curtis explained that she was exhausted from preparing for her tour and will take a short vacation before it starts this summer.

Neither heard the TV, just the sounds of their own desires being met as they continued enjoying their limited time together.

Georgina Woodward finished taping up the final box in her living room. She just had a few more things to pack up in the kitchen and bathroom. In the morning the movers would arrive, and everything would be loaded onto a truck and brought to Sheridan Falls.

She wasn’t thrilled about the move, but she understood why her husband Mitch wanted to move out of Denver. He was able to work anywhere, and why be in the city when you could just be in a nice small town.

Yet he had arranged for this move to happen when he was off at a conference in Dallas. She could strangle her husband, if she didn’t love him so damn much.

She picked up her phone, hitting the icon to call him, feeling her stomach sink when it went to voicemail, “Hey babe, everything is packed, I’m going to take a shower, get ready for bed. The movers will be here early, I just wish you were here for this. I love you Mitch.”

Running her hands through her dark chestnut hair she sighed, her whole life was packed up in boxes, tomorrow she would be starting a new chapter, it just felt weird her husband wasn’t with her for this.

“Hello, and welcome to another episode of Coffee, Donuts, and Crime. I’m your host Kara Greene and I’ve got an update for you on the case of Willa Hughes.” Kara spoke into the microphone, surrounded by the low lights of her salt lamp and a couple of candles as well as the dimmed overhead light.

She was alone as she spoke to the camera, as though she were just having a video chat with friends. “As you all know this case as stayed with me since I first started looking into it. Willa Hughes ran away from home in the spring of 2000. Her mother Rosemary never gave up hope that Willa would be found and return home.”

Kara took a sip from her coffee mug, “Unfortunately, this afternoon we found out that for all these years Willa was okay, she was happy, married, and had a daughter. She was also killed in a car accident in Utah this morning.”

Tucking her blonde hair behind her ear she continued as she focused on the camera, “Willa Hughes, for the past almost twenty years has been known as Willow Chase, the wife of Bennett Chase the leader of the Fire Yoga movement. It’s understood that their teenage daughter was not in the car with them. The Hughes family has not made a public comment at this time.”

“Also, this afternoon, Pop Princess Tazia passed out on live television. Social Media immediately began to come alive with theories of substance abuse. Her manager however said it was simply exhaustion.” She took another sip of her drink, “We all know Tazia loves the spotlight, who can forget her feud with Joel Riley after they broke up. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have a feeling we’ll be seeing far more headlines about Tazia before too long.”

“I’ll be back soon as we dive into a new case, and with more updates about past ones when possible. Until then have some Coffee and a Donut, and we’ll meet up soon for another chat. Bye all.” Kara reached forward clicking the camera off and watching as the file uploaded to her laptop.

She turned the lights up, before she pulled up her editing software. She just had a few things to put in. If she was lucky tomorrow Rosemary would call her up and arrange a new interview. Rosemary was always willing to talk about Willa, she would even brag about Keaton.

Kara felt the memory flash over her for a moment. Keaton close to her, his eyes clear with fire. She could feel the heat rising in her body. He came close to kissing her in the barn that day. She was still sure of it, yes, he’d been engaged at the time—he was married now to the lifestyle vlogger, but Keaton had wanted her.

As Kara went through the motions of her editing she glanced to her phone, seeing multiple text messages from her sister Sharon. She pulled them up, rolling her eyes.

Did you see him?

Do you just want to rip his shirt off and lick his chest?

He threw you off the ranch and told you to burn in hell, right?

Sex with him would probably be the hottest thing on the planet.

She quickly began to type a reply. Keaton was the only one their when I brought over a casserole. He pretty much told me to stay away. I’m sure Rosemary will reach out soon. I have no desire to have sex with Keaton Hughes even if he was the last man on earth.

Before she even put the phone down, she saw that Sharon had replied. She ignored her for now, she had a video to get out.

***

“She’s not going to call you.” Alec Riley looked over at his older brother.

“Who?” Joel took a sip from his pint glass as he glanced up at the tv above the bar.

Alec laughed, “You’re telling me that you don’t expect to hear from Tazia? She’s going to come; Rosemary would never let her live it down.”

“Tazia is a myth, a figment.” Joel looked at the golden drink filling half his glass, “Ana, she’s real, lost in a shadow, needing to be the good daughter.”

“It doesn’t matter what name she is using. She cheated on you with her manager. She’s been attached to him ever since.”

Joel rolled his eyes, “I expect to hear this stuff from Phoebe, not from you. What are you doing following only TMZ on twitter?”

Alec leaned back in his seat, a smirk on his face, “Come on Bro, I’ve been following this ever since you’re dance battle.”

“That didn’t happen.” Joel whined, “We didn’t get into a dance battle. You can’t believe everything you read on those trashy websites.”

“Come on Joel, I really love the mental picture of you and Tazia fighting it out via dance. Like, come on, the picture just paints itself.” Alec looked around, “I can almost hear the music playing, first it would be one of her songs, then your dance hit, the really bad 2000s outfits, I mean come on.”

Joel knew what night his brother was speaking about. It was the last time besides an award show they had been anywhere near each other. For a moment Joel believed that if he and Ana got to talk, that they would clear up everything. Then he saw the way Fletcher Curtis slunk his arms around her on the dance floor.

It might not have been the dance battle that TMZ had reported or lived in the legend of old gossip sites long abandoned. Joel had pulled his back up dancer Chloe out onto the floor. Kept her close, even closer when he felt that Ana was looking. Did he kiss Chloe at one point on the dance floor, yes? When he pulled away did he see Ana locked in a hot and heavy kiss with Fletcher? He sure as hell did.

“Joel, Joel, Joel!” Alec snapped, about ready to slap his brother in the face.

“Sorry, I spaced out.”

“You never got over her, did you?”

“You never get over your first love.” Joel let a smile cross his lips as he thought about the first time, he an Ana kissed, it was the night before Willa ran away.

“I’ll take your word for it.” Alec shook his head, “Remember, I’m the heartless one who has never been in love, while you’ve written some of the most annoying love songs ever. Seriously, if I have to go to one more wedding and hear Summer Dance again I might kill you in your sleep.”

Joel rolled his eyes, “At least I’m not the one who sings it.”

“Thank God for small favors.” He sighed, “Well, it’s late. We should get back to the ranch.”

Joel tossed some cash onto the bar, “I can’t wait until we have the ranch set up and going. It’ll mean less trips into town.”

“Yeah, coming into town is totally the worse thing ever.” Alec froze as the door opened, in she stepped with her pitch-black hair, precious moment eyes, and full lips.

“Alec, you coming?”

“Yeah, sorry.” He followed his brother outside, glancing towards the window once more.

“Who is she?”

Alec shrugged, “No idea.”

“Let’s go.” Joel pushed him towards the truck. “We have an early morning.”

“Remind me why I agreed to be your foreman?”

“Because I’m a spoiled popstar with money to burn, and willing to pay you, give you a place to live in my giant house, let you swim in my indoor pool, oh and because I’m your brother.”

“I liked it better when you called yourself a spoiled popstar.” Alec took one more look towards the bar, wondering who the raven-haired beauty was.

***

Fletcher reached across the bed, pulling a pillow against him, breathing in its scent before realizing he was alone in the bed. “Taz?”

The morning sun was starting to come through the curtains. He threw the sheets aside and went to check his phone, at that moment that her phone was gone. He looked at this screen.

Had to go to Colorado. I need to see Keaton, twin thing. Do. Not. Follow. Stay in NYC, manage the whole passing out on live TV thing. Thanks.

He groaned. Every damn time she went back to Colorado, which thankfully wasn’t often he had to calm her down. Anytime she had been around her mother she would come back spiraling. Though he wasn’t as worried about her dealing with her mother, it was just a hassle. It was that Joel fucking Riley had texted her after the incident on TV.

He pulled open a drawer, pulling out a pair of sweatpants a t-shirt before he found the number, “Why the fuck did you let her leave?”

***

She hadn’t packed anything, she just got on the first flight she could. While she’d been waiting for it to board at JFK, she reserved a car at DIA, and put together a curbside pickup order for Target.

Her hair was pulled in a simple braid, she had no false lashes on, no makeup at all. She wore a pair of jeans, and a CU hoodie. She just looked like any average woman flying out. She had her purse of course, which she had filled with the few things she could think she needed.

In all honesty, she couldn’t recall the last time she had packed for herself, and since she had no idea how long she would be in Colorado, she didn’t know what to pack. So, while on the target app she ordered the basics of what she might need for a couple of days, including a basic black dress, everything was done under her real, legal name.

After she’d picked up her order at Target, she drove through the mountains to Sheridan Falls. She pulled over to the side of the road, taking a moment for herself. She had to decide now, did she go to Keaton’s house or her parents?

The dread in her stomach told her what she knew. Going straight to Keaton would be cowardly, she would have to go to the ranch first. However, her parents reacted would determine if she stuck around or went to spend the night at Keaton’s.

She started the car, pausing for a moment as a familiar voice hit her ears. Of course, it would be this song as she entered Sheridan Falls. Joel, he’d left her. Just walked out one day, and then a scathing song about her, accusing her of cheating.

Tazia felt cold as she remembered how it felt when she realized her was gone. And then the day that song came out, the music video dropping. She wouldn’t have to see Joel if she didn’t want to.

She did have to see her mother no matter what.

Might as well get it over with as soon as possible.

***

Keaton locked the front door of his house. He hadn’t slept much, but he had finished painting Belle’s office. He moved down to his truck, realizing that a moving truck was blocking his driveway. Sighing he moved towards the street, “Excuse me, you’re blocking my driveway.”

“Sorry bud, we’ll be out of the way in a minute.” The mover insisted.

Keaton wasn’t so sure as he walked around the truck, but they were almost empty. The team of men moving quickly to bring stuff into the old Windsor house.

“I’m so sorry.” A female voice came from behind him, “I’m trying to get them out as soon as possible.”

“It’s okay, they’re almost done.” Keaton turned to her, she was probably his age, with red hair lit by the son, “I’m Keaton Hughes.”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Georgina Woodward, my husband Mitch and I are moving in. Unfortunately, he’s out of town right now.”

“Oh, that is a shame. If you need anything my wife Belle and I are usually around. She’s out of town this weekend, but she’ll be back Monday.”

“That’s so very nice of you.” Georgina kept her eyes on the movers, “I hope your not in a hurry?”

“Actually, I’m not.” He confessed, the last thing he wanted to do was deal with his parents and sister. “So, no need to rush them if you don’t have to.”

“Okay, thank you, still it should only be about fifteen minutes more.”

Keaton nodded, “Thanks.” He was already moving back towards his house.

***

Mitch nuzzled Belles neck as she poured a cup of coffee. She turned the TV on, “Do you want sugar?”

“You know what I want” His hands slipped along her waist.

Belle giggled, “Mitch, I need to at least get some coffee first.”

“Fine.” He sighed as he pulled away and began to fix his own. “Oh, did you see this yesterday?”

Belle looked to see what he was referencing, “What?”

“That pop star just totally passed out on TV She was probably high as a kite.”

“Wait, no, that’s not why.” Belle put her coffee mug down, “I have to go Mitch I’m sorry.”

Mitch reached for her, “What, why?”

“That missing woman they found, that’s Keaton’s sister, and that pop star who fainted in front of that news report, is also his sister.”

Mitch dropped his hand, “Go. It was short, it was sweet, next time will be longer.”

Belle felt the knot in her stomach, “Yes, next year.”

Mitch watched as she left for the bedroom, next year would be far too long. Belle would just have to be surprised to find out he was her new neighbor.
