Rekindled (2006)
Rekindled
“Lamplight spilled over the darkness. “I’ll sit with him awhile till you get those griddle cakes of yours goin’, Abby.”
Larson’s heart thudded against his ribs as new hope kindled inside him.
Soft humming in a masculine timbre hovered toward him. Burnt-orange flame flickered and played off the walls. Lying prone, he could make out the vague outline of a dresser and cupboard within his limited view. An aroma conjuring comfort and home filtered through his uncertainty. A sharp pang jabbed his abdo...men, slowly registering as hunger. The sensation felt both foreign and familiar.
Larson tried to swallow but his throat closed tight. He heard the plunk as an oil lamp was set on a table. Then a shadowed figure, barely distinguishable from the darkness, loomed at the foot of the bed.
“Lord, lay your healing hand on this child of yours.” The same deep voice, then more humming.
Larson could almost make out the tune. It was one Kathryn sang. Oh, to hear her sweet voice again. A cool draft wafted over his legs and up his chest, and he shivered at the undeniable bond of human touch.MoreLess
