45. Andrea
CHAPTER 45
Andrea
T hough I walk away from the barn with his promise to leave Eric alone fresh in my ears, the kids’ chatter doing nothing to clear my mind, I’m fully aware of how close we just came…
I release a heavy breath when the girls run ahead to the kitchen.
Staring at the sky, relief making me nauseated, I mutter, “That was a close call, God. Too close. If I hadn’t gotten there in time—” I bite my lip. “I always have faith in him and know he works so hard to be the husband and father he believes we deserve, but if it weren’t for…
“I suppose it doesn’t matter. Not really. I did get there in time. And I stopped him from doing something rash.” A soft laugh escapes me. “I guess that’s my reason for being, hmm?
“Thank you, God. Thank you for stopping him from breaking his vow to us.”
My eyes water as I reach back and rub my shoulder. My wings prickled earlier, something they hadn’t done in quite a while.
“His vows matter to him, God. Thank you for helping me help him.” I press my fingers to my lips and release them, knowing the salutation will be received where it was earned.
