Leah's Choice
“She shifted in the bed, puzzled. What had that been? Not one of the usual noises, or it wouldn’t have wakened her.
Moonlight still poured through the window, so it wasn’t very late. It felt as if she’d just gotten to sleep, in fact. Perhaps it was Anna, coming home. Had Daad talked to her yet? What had he said? More importantly, would it do any good?
