Chapter 43 – Her body is all bruised and blue

• The next day, the soft morning light comes through the window and the room remains the lingering smell of yesterday.
• On the soft queen bed, the slim little girl lies quietly. Her long eyelashes cash a beautiful shadow over her delicate face.
• Nicole wakes up with soreness that reminds her of last night. Her face is instantly flushed and her hands cover her hot face. Nicole looks sideways secretly, Kevin sleeps soundly. He looks so handsome. He is sleeping as peacefully as a child, with his mouth seeming to hang a smile.
