The Drifter (1995)
“With a dustcloth Rosa gave him, Chase cleaned the cobwebs from it and in the process noticed the handholds carved into the headboard and footboard were in the shape of a heart. He wiped the dust from the handholds with care.
Rosa returned with a clean quilt that she folded into a serviceable mattress. After thanking her, Chase picked up the cradle, his fingers fitting perfectly into the hearts on either end, and started for the cottage. Carrying a cradle wasn’t how he’d pictured this little tri...p to visit Amanda, he thought with a grimace. Now the scenes he’d imagined taking place in the cottage weren’t likely to happen, unless he’d completely misread the signals she’d been giving him.
About a hundred yards from the cottage he heard a screech. He dropped the cradle and started forward just as the door flew open and Amanda bolted out, barefoot, with her blouse undone and Bartholomew clutched against one shoulder, screaming lustily.
“Snake!” she cried above the sound of Bartholomew’s screams.MoreLess
