Jingle Bell Blessings (2010)
“Everything was on the line. The boy’s future, her own. Swallowing, she tentatively raised the brass knocker on the massive front door.
Silence.
She bent down to encourage Jimmy, and whispered, “It’ll be okay, I promise.”
The door whipped open suddenly and she nearly teetered. Unnerved, she looked up, way up, to meet a dark pair of unpleased eyes. Set in a rugged face with a determined chin, his eyes swept over her in uncompromising dismissal.
Awkwardly, Chloe straightened up, expecting to meet ...him face-to-face, but he was tall, unusually tall. “Um…hello.”
“Yes?”
“I’m here to see Evan Mitchell.”
“You’re looking at him.”
“Oh.” She’d held a wild hope that she’d knocked on the wrong door. Despite her boss’s warnings, she had wanted to believe that Evan Mitchell would be approachable, reasonable.
“I’m Chloe Reed.” Wishing she could shield the little boy, she squeezed his hand again. “And this is Jimmy Mitchell.”
Eyebrows as dark as the man’s thick hair swooped downward.MoreLess
