“I could hear Sarah’s singing coming down from the cavern, soft and sweet which was a good sign as she had been so withdrawn over the last few days but I just had a feeling in my stomach something was different.

She had something cooking over the fire in the frying pan as she looked up at me with the biggest smile I’ve seen since I met her. “I saved her.” She said smiling. “Who’s baby is this?” was the only thing I could think to ask. She nodded towards a body lying just into the shadows.MoreLessRead More Read Less
