Alice doesn't think she's ready to start dating again. Or even to make new friends in the village where she's come to live with her sister's family. Will a rainy autumn day and an encounter with a mysterious black dog, a beautiful woman and a fox cub change her mind? A 10,500 word Halloween short story in the Celtic Myths Collection. With dogs, bats, a camper van with a woodburning stove and a fox cub.
