Tenderness (2009)
“Her mind groped like a bat in bright daylight for something to say.
Wade saved her from trying to erase the sudden silence.
“I’m glad you brought the teacher.”
“She’s a good teacher and likes a challenge. Knowing that Mr. Harper would be furious if he knew she was teaching Jody makes it all the more exciting for Pauline.”
Wade came close to her. All his senses were focused on the woman standing before him. He remembered the day he had stopped her in the road. She had smiled at h...im, the sun shining on her glorious hair. Before the day was over he had known that she would be his only love, his only joy, the all-consuming factor in his life. He was not half good enough for her, and God knew he had tried to get her out of his thoughts. She had stuck there like a burr; whether he was awake or asleep, she was there in the back of his mind.
“Right now the teacher is the farthest thing from my mind.”MoreLess
