Desire the Night
“Sometime around two in the morning a bad dream had awakened her. Though the details of the nightmare had eluded her on waking, she hadn’t wanted to go back to sleep. What she wanted was Gideon, lying beside her, assuring her that everything would be all right.Slipping out of bed, she had tiptoed up the stairs to his room, only to find his bed empty.

To her surprise, she found her mother and father in the kitchen, still at breakfast.MoreLess
