Woodlands (2012)
“She felt as if she had gone riding through the night on the tattered edges of midnight’s dark, velvet cape. She knew emotionally she was going somewhere—and fast. But where?
When Leah realized she wasn’t going to fall back to sleep, she reluctantly rose and shuffled into the kitchen for a drink of water. The stillness comforted her. The rain had stopped, and it was quiet outside. She stood at the window, sipping her glass of water and trying to see the sky, but it was still too dark.
On a whim,... Leah reached for a blanket in the living room and went through the mudroom out to the back steps. Hula rose and padded after her, not fully awake but ever faithful. For a long while Leah sat on the cold, cement steps, wrapped in the blanket and with her arm around Hula. Leah stared into the deep, quiet darkness, waiting for the morning light to come.
Her thoughts were of God and trying to understand who he was and what he expected of her in light of the conversation she had had with Jessica the night before.MoreLess
