Keeper of the Stars (2015)
“Her dreams had left her unsettled, although in the light of day she couldn’t recall the particulars. The illuminated digits of the clock on the nightstand said it was nearly eight o’clock. It was a rare thing that she slept this late, even on her days off. She’d always been an early riser. Even as a toddler, according to her dad.
She sat up and switched on the bedside lamp. Warm air pumped through the floor vent to chase the chill of winter from the room, and the scent of coffee wafted under the door, making it impossible for her to linger any longer under the down comforter. After tossing aside the covers, she reached for her robe at the same time she put her feet into a pair of fluffy slippers. She knotted the belt around her waist as she headed out of the room.
“Dad?” she called when she reached the top of the stairs.
“In the kitchen.”
“Sorry I slept in. I hope you waited for me to feed the cows.”
