I’d found Topaz Pages sitting here all alone. Actually, there was a pastry shop too. That was it, though. The two businesses shared a two-story building and a small parking lot. Expansive hills were their backdrop, and the ocean was across the road—well, down a cliffside. It was hot as hell, and cars whooshed by, upsetting the yellow dust. Mansions and beaches weren’t far away, maybe a minute or two in each direction, yet this…this looked like a place God had forgotten.
