Seen And Not Seen (The Veil book 1)
“Brightly colored blooms greet the sunshine of a new day in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Tucked away in one corner is a cushioned bench, a man in a creased suit and worn brogues asleep upon it. Robert wakes, opening sad eyes, only to be momentarily arrested by what greets him.
A wide-eyed little girl stands frozen in mid step a few paces away. She holds a safety mug for hot drinks, clasping it tightly with both hands for fear of dropping it.
“I didn’t mean to wake you. Mom and Dad said... it was OK.”
Further up the garden, near the house, the rest of the Rose family watch on—a little boy observing shyly from behind a man and woman with warm smiles. Robert catches the parents’ eyes briefly to receive an affirmation from them. Eying the little girl he takes the mug.
“My name is Tilly.”
Robert takes a sip, “Thank you, Tilly. My name is Robert. The coffee is excellent.”MoreLess
