Dangerous Secrets
“The headlights of two cars darted in and out of the trees. They drove slowly and sprayed a searchlight into the woods. They were obviously looking for someone and Jack knew he and Morgan were the prime suspects.
‶Climb the tree,″ he commanded. She didn′t question his authority, but started up the trunk.
Jack did the same. They′d just made it into the leaves when the light swept the trunk. Jack put his hand on her waist to stop her. They settled in the arms of two branches, her body pressed into... his, and waited, peering through the leaves, neither saying a word.
The cars rolled by slowly, continuing to search as they moved down the road. Jack and Morgan remained hidden in the branches, rigidly alert. When the car went around the curve in the road, Morgan relaxed against Jack. He felt the tension in her body leave it. He slipped his arms around her, securing her to his chest. He told himself it was to keep her from falling, but Jack knew he wanted to hold her. It had been twelve years since he′d had his arms around her.MoreLess
