I Am Lightning (Laurel Defense Series)
“I don’t know what Robert saw in my face, but he took his hands away from mine and left the kitchen. I remained rooted to my spot – my legs were made of lead – but soon found enough strength to move and follow him. He was sitting at a corner of the couch inside his small living room, staring straight ahead at nothing at all. The picture was an unfathomably sad one. My heart broke and I choked on a sob.
“I’m so sorry,” I managed to say as I sat next to him as best I could, wings expanded....
He shook his head. “It was my fault.”
“How can that be?!” I sputtered. “It cannot be your fault.”
“I left myself open for an ambush,” he began to explain. I wasn’t following, but decided that telling him he’d lost me was obvious enough. I remained quiet, hoping he’d fill me in as soon as he gathered his thoughts on the matter. But he remained quiet for longer than I liked. I reached for his hand and squeezed it, willing to listen or to just remain by his side if that was what he wanted.MoreLess
