Bonus Chapter
I knock gently on the wooden door and hear a muffled “come in” on the other side. Taking a deep breath, I push the door open and am greeted by warm brown eyes. Lydia Ashford is what I assume Thea will look like in twenty years time. Her hair is a darker shade of blonde than Thea’s, but they share the same eyes and smile.
The woman is just as I remember from my childhood, the only change being she looks a bit more tired and has lost some weight. Her eyes still hold the same welcoming sweetness and sparkle with a hint of playfulness.
