Runaway (2012)
“Then she realized that day had come again, that light was streaming in the windows of Mrs. Conolly’s largest, most comfortable room, and that there was motion near her as well. She blinked against the light and realized that she had slept fully clothed, after the hours she had lain awake wondering if Jarrett would come back.
He had come back. She kept her lashes low over her eyes as she watched him. He was clad in hugging breeches and boots and was just donning a clean white shirt. He stared ou...t the window, then his gaze fell upon her. She closed her eyes again and rolled away, still very tired and determined to pretend that she was asleep. Had he slept in this room? She didn’t think so. From the few seconds’ view of the room she had allowed herself, she’d seen that his pillow hadn’t the hint of an indentation on it. She was appalled by the jealousy and anger that so instantly filled her.
She opened her eyes slightly again and gasped. She was startled to discover he had come around the side of the bed in silence and hunkered down before her by the bed waiting for her to open her eyes once again.MoreLess
