Navy Rescue (2014)
“She allowed herself to lie there and relish the warmth of the comforter, the familiarity of the mattress.
Reality crept in, inevitably. This wasn’t her room anymore; it wasn’t their bed, their life.
It was all Drew’s.
She turned her face into the pillow and inhaled. Under the aroma of fabric softener and cotton, she could smell Drew’s clean scent. Regret over all she’d lost seeped into her mind, and her morning lassitude disintegrated.
Getting up and dressed was still something ...she had to think about, but the promise of seeing Rosie and Nappie again, having a cup of coffee, spurred her on. She could dress later. For now she threw on her plush, pink, terry robe. It felt like heaven after wearing the same clothes for months on end. Her skin was still pretty red and scabbed over in some places where the filthy fabric had rubbed away the surface layers. Yet after only a matter of a week on antibiotics and special prescription ointments, it already felt so much better.MoreLess
