Promises Keep (The Promise Series)
“The bed shook and his chest was on fire. He struggled to his side, grunting with the effort, to spot Mara hunched against his bed holding her knees, her body jerking as if she were sobbing. “What’s wrong?”
Mara jerked around. “You’re awake!”
“Yeah.” He felt like something the cat had dragged in. Mara didn’t look much better than he felt. Her skin was bleached white by the bright light filtering through the lace curtains, and her lips were nearly colorless. Her cheeks were dry. He propped himsel...f higher up on his elbow. “Why are you crying?”
“I’m not.” There might not be tears on her cheeks but he couldn’t shake the feeling she’d been crying.
Pushing up off the floor, she got to her feet. Her movements were stiff and heavy.
“Then let me try again.” Dammit! She looked worse than when he’d left her. His voice, raspy with disuse, got harsher as he rephrased, “What’s wrong?”
She threw him a look that questioned his intelligence.
