Journey to the Lost Tomb (Rowan And Ella book 2)
“She was waited on for her every need by gentle and caring hands. A cadre of Egyptian female servants moved silently about her world. She had spent what felt like weeks in a dream. She often knew when she was walking—or being helped to walk—but she felt no urgency to go from one place to another.
She remembered the boat and the hours and days of sunlight and the feeling of being rocked by the waves beneath the dahabiya.
She couldn’t remember when she had arrived at the palace. She couldn’t remem...ber entering it or what the grounds looked like. Halima told her that the palace belonged to Dr. Zimmerman and that its gardens were very beautiful, a true oasis of greenery in the hostile desert.
The other thing Ella knew for sure about her new life was that she was a prisoner, watched and guarded every moment of every day.
The doctor visited frequently. Ella often took tea with him although the visits were hazy in her memory. Halima served them both, handing Ella her teacup, delicately spreading a thin linen napkin across her lap, and then recounting the visits to Ella afterward.MoreLess
