Sample text:

Eva had forty minutes to handle the most urgent messages, finish shopping, unload the groceries, and race back to school to pick up her son.

That was why she nearly ran the man down.

Of course, it didn't help that the shopping cart had a wobbly wheel and a mind of its own, veering left when she steered right. It wouldn't have mattered had the aisle remained empty. Or if she'd been better at multi-tasking. The last six months had taught her a lot, but not how to manage a renegade shopping cart while catching up with emails on her iPhone.

"Whoa, there."

She glanced up in time to see the man stagger back, straight into a display of organic, gluten-free quinoa flakes. Boxes went flying.

Eva froze. "Are you okay?"

He glanced around at the mess and then turned a pair fo startling green eyes her way. "There's a law against that, you know."

"What?"

"No texting while driving."

"I wasn't--" she broke off as he grinned. She experienced a sense of deja vu. She'd seen him before, she was sure of it, but couldn't remember where. "I'm sorry. Are you hurt?"

"Nah," he said, setting his basket on the floor.  "Been through worse."

That was when she noticed the cane, and the stiff way he held his leg as he bent to pick up a box. She dropped the phone in her bag and skirted around the cart to help with the clean-up. "I really am sorry."
