—From Tex Knight Takes in a Stray by Andrea Jackson The Logans’ house was quaint, two stories, recently painted robin’s egg blue with a wide white porch that wrapped around the sides. Honeysuckle grew in abundance next to the porch. The scent wafted on the breeze, made Andrea feel incredibly welcome.

She could sense the silent sobs of a grieving widow.
When Matt finished with his task, he sat down on the porch step, his back against the beam supporting the eaves, angled so he could see her, one foot on the step, his other leg stretched straight, his foot on the ground.
