Mother Before Wife (The Compound #2)
“—The Prophet, Clarence Black Aspen Another sleepless night, followed by another morning with splotchy skin and dark circles beneath my eyes. But none of that mattered.
It was my first day to practice with the lock Jonathan had given me, and I couldn’t have been more ready. After breakfast, I sent my girls to their religious education classes, and with Jeremiah, I retreated to my bedroom.
Since his disappearance just two days prior, I hardly allowed him out of my sight. The list in my ...head of untrustworthy sister wives was growing by the day, and the only way to know he was all right was to keep him by my side. Besides, he was incapable of betraying my trust. There was no way he could properly articulate to his father, or anyone else, that his mother was practicing the art of lock picking. My secret was safe with him.
Together, we sat on the floor, Jeremiah stacking his blocks and me fiddling with my lock, trying to remember everything Jonathan had taught me.MoreLess
