The Promise of Rain
“No sightseeing. No hanging out. No pretending, for just a day, that they were carefree.
Anna latched the hotel room door behind Niara, the kids and Dr. Alwanga’s sister, who’d come to pick them up for a trip to the open market before dinner. Niara wanted to shop at Nakumatt, a Walmart-like chain. She seemed happy. As if she’d rediscovered her inner girl. The fact that Jack had warned Alwanga off—like a big brother—had made Anna’s heart ache with gratitude...and something deeper she wouldn’t... let herself explore. He’d done the right thing, as Jack always did.
Dr. Alwanga was waiting for them downstairs, but Anna needed to be alone. After collecting Jack, Pippa and her from their appointment at the embassy, he’d driven straight to the airport. It wasn’t until the runways were in sight that Anna had realized what was going on.
Jack hadn’t told her specifically when he was leaving. Somehow, she’d assumed he’d be returning to Busara with them before doing so.MoreLess
