First Chapter -- First Paragraph -- Tuesday Intros!

Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea hosts First Chapter, First Paragraph, Tuesday Intros. This week's intro is from Pure Gold by Holli Pfau:

"I can't see the street addresses," Walter said. He peered through the windshield wipers, while rain pelted down and made the February afternoon even darker.

"Slow down, I think I see her, there on the curb," I said to my husband.

Sure enough, a small, fluffy golden puppy balanced on the curb, tiptoeing through the rain, at the end of a slender blue leash. A young teenager guided her and smiled shyly at us. We parked and stepped forward into our future.
