Countdown (2016)
“Cynthia had insisted she take a rest while they wait for Derrick. “I’m sure he’s just swamped sorting things out,” she’d said, but her eyes had lacked luster, worry lines creasing her forehead.
Judging by how tense James had seemed, she didn’t think he was entirely sold on the idea, either. Yet, it was probably the best scenario for the boys. Why’d it have to be a nursery? She’d never once questioned her decision to avoid motherhood at all costs until now.
Her heavy eyes closed as she t...ried to take deep breaths, but the only picture in her mind was a car sitting outside. She flinched and looked at the blue LED clock on the bottom shelf of the diaper station. She’d apparently fallen asleep for forty-five minutes out of pure exhaustion, but dreams of trying to keep men from Caleb and Ethan woke her up, covered in a cold sweat.
Everything hurt. Rachel took deep breaths. God sets the lonely in families.MoreLess
