“That puzzled Ned. He had always thought angels had golden hair. And he had to be dead and seeing an angel, because when he had been shot, a fire exploded in his chest and blood seemed to be everywhere. There had been scant seconds of consciousness, filled with indescribable anguish, just long enough for him to offer a prayer of contrition. Then he had faded away. He was sure he had died and the beautiful young woman bending over him was receiving him into heaven, and he was relieved to have mer...cifully achieved salvation. Ned stirred, smiling in his sleep as his dreams continued to take him to happier times. When he had finally rallied from his delirium, weak from loss of blood, he had realized Lakoma was an angel only in the true sense of the word and had then proceeded to fall in love with her as she nursed him back to health. She had spoken a few words of English, and he taught her more, but eventually the omnipotent language of love stripped away any barriers of communication that remained between them.MoreLessRead More Read Less
