The Hundred Year Wait
“She felt very warm and snug, wrapped from head to bandaged feet in a blanket and towel. It was a stark contrast from the earlier cold.
Beside her Myron sat and waited for his car to come fetch them both, and, still fidgeting in his own kitchen, the farmer tried to make himself busy, cleaning a speck here and there, and rearranging the counter-top utensils.
This day had been the most eventful of her life but she tried not to think too much about it. While Myron was with her she felt safe and it ...made it easier to be calm. Throughout the whole abduction, and then in their escape, he had remained stable and constant. It had helped her keep herself going when she'd wanted to just curl up and pretend none of it was happening.
She couldn't decide if the swim had been the worst part or the walk afterwards.
While on the boat, she'd known as she was working herself free that no one appeared particularly interested in her and afterwards she'd been buzzed with enough adrenaline she'd functioned without thinking.MoreLess
