Under the Midnight Stars
“Brielle lay in the hammock in her backyard, under a reassuring blanket of stars, enjoying the warm summer air. Colt filled her thoughts — his declaration of love, his kiss, his touch, his kind heart. She thought her own heart might burst with fulfillment.
Though she was happy, it just wasn’t the same lying alone in the hammock without her mother. But ironically, she felt closer than ever to her now as she lay under the stars sharing her secrets. She wondered if her mother was up there somewhere..., among the brightest of stars, looking down upon her, watching over her. Or maybe — Brielle looked beside her at the empty pillow — maybe her mother was quietly lying next to her, relishing this moment they had together, listening to her daughter’s heart as it filled with love for a chivalrous man who had stormed into town with nothing but the shirt on his back and then swept her off her feet.
Tears glistened in her eyes. She didn’t know how Colt did it. His mother had only passed away little over a month ago, but Brielle wouldn’t have known it by looking at him.MoreLess
