I Dream of Danger
“Jesus. His heart had clenched when Elle told Jenny to put it on her credit card. If she had any money on her card, he’d eat his shorts. Elle had no money at all.
The judge’s illness had pared them down to the bone. The happy, luxurious home he’d known was no more. Now it was this cold, empty shell. Most of the furniture and artwork gone. The once-glorious gardens abandoned and full of weeds.
And Elle—Christ. Thin, drawn, dressed in rags.
Still amazingly beautiful.
He remembered ...her as a beautiful girl who was heading into glorious womanhood. When he left, he knew that was her trajectory. She didn’t worry him at all. Pampered daughter of a wealthy, well-respected man, smart as hell, good in school, gorgeous. He was leaving, but she was moving straight into the best possible life.
Nothing had prepared him for the reality—poor, abandoned. But still stunning. If anything, she was more appealing now.MoreLess
