Why Harry Hates Company
Harry has a reputation around Belle Perdue for being a grump who doesn’t like people nosing around his place. But the real reason? He’s an avid knitter. Every evening, he settles in front of the TV, surrounded by yarn, needles, and half-finished afghans, in a living room that looks like a gaggle of grandmothers exploded inside.
Years ago, Harry suffered from debilitating migraines everyone in town knew about. Then they mysteriously stopped. Folks have long wondered how he cured them, but Harry’s kept quiet. Because the truth is, he discovered knitting soothed his nerves and eased the pain. He knows if anyone found out, they’d start dropping by for knitting lessons, orders, or worse...pity. And that would give him migraines all over again.
So Harry keeps the mystery alive, his yarn stash secret, and his porch empty...except for the occasional stray cat that wanders by, which he insists “just needed a place to sit.”
