Citrine Wishes

Thou shalt not wish your ex-husband be run over by a truck. Nor would I wish bad things on the dressmakers, flower delivery persons, and snotty little hotel concierges who messed up room reservations and gave the suite I was supposed to have to my ex-husband and his bimbo-of-the-week.Now that I've arrived at the hotel for my daughter's week-long wedding festivities, there are a thousand or so things that require my attention. And there are the things I'm desperately trying not to focus on, like my loneliness and the angry feeling I get every time I look at my ex.But when everything that can go wrong does go wrong, I need a break, just one afternoon to pull it together. And it's at the market in town where I find exactly that.And so much more.Thanks to a pirate's lost treasure, I find a trinket, a strange and beautiful stone, that seems to be making all my wishes come true. Suddenly everything is falling into place in my life.I may, however, have to learn to be careful what I wish for because sometimes what we think we want and what we really need are too entirely different things.
