CHAPTER FIVE

SABRINA SNUGGLED DEEPER into her pillows. It was Sunday afternoon and she wasn’t moving until she finished the book she was reading. She caught a whiff of honeysuckle and listened to the bees humming a steady rhythm as they gathered sweet nectar from the rose bushes growing along the rock wall.

How long had it been since she’d had the time to read a book? In Houston, what little time she had between two jobs and Levi was spent taking classes at the local junior college. Simple things like reading for pleasure were luxuries she hadn’t been able to afford for a long time. Especially in the middle of the afternoon.
