A Daring Vow (Vows)
“Every light in the house seemed to be burning. Why? What had gone wrong? He took off for the front door at a dead run, not certain what he expected to find inside. Doctors? Paramedics? His parents? All foolish thoughts given the lack of a single vehicle in front of the house other than his own and Zelda’s bright red convertible.
He opened the door quietly, then listened. There wasn’t so much as a faint sound of stirring anywhere. Encouraged by that, he took a quick survey of the downstairs room...s, his mouth dropping open at the mess in the kitchen. Apparently Zelda had tried to fix something to tempt Caitlin’s appetite. Judging from the chaos, it had taken several attempts.
