Destined - the Austin Series Prequel
“It was Christmas Eve and I was sitting on the sofa with Mum and my brother or sister in her big, round tummy. She had her arm around me as she read me a story. She smelled of cinnamon and spice, as she’d been baking all day, preparing cake and mince pies for lunch for tomorrow. I couldn’t wait, I was so excited. I loved Christmas, especially when it snowed, like it had for the last couple of days.
We’d spent ages in the kitchen that morning. She’d kept getting flour all over her cheeks and I’d giggled every time she touched the tip of my nose with her floury fingers, and I’d wipe it away. I’d loved it when she’d finally sat me on the stool with the big bowl, smeared with remains of the cake mix. It was a real treat when she allowed me to scrape it all out with my finger and suck it. It was sweet, sticky and delicious and I’d been even happier to find the odd stray raisin in there to chew on. She’d put the radio on and we’d listened to Christmas songs all day. I loved to hear her sing,... she had a beautiful voice, she sounded just like I imagined an angel would.MoreLess
