The Last Car Home
by D. S. Artden
Nora Ellis has built a workable life from deadlines, motherhood, and carefully managed expectations. After a disastrous blind date and a late ride on a historic San Francisco streetcar, she meets a guarded operator whose sharp humor keeps colliding with her need for honesty. Across work, friendship, parenting, grief, and modern dating, every choice asks what she is willing to call love—and what she refuses to lose to keep it.
