The Right Wife
“Propelling her petite body into her sister’s, Judith cried out, “Oh, Maggie. We were so worried about you.”
Maggie hugged the child tightly, stroking the back of her tiny head. “You shouldn’t have run off, Jude. When you and Micah didn’t come back I got scared something had to happened to you all, so I went looking everywhere trying to find you.”

Aaron, standing behind Maggie, could not suppress a chuckle. Looking across the foyer at his friend he saw a slight flush on Thayer’s smiling face.MoreLess
