Chapter 44

• Ronald called not long after they had dinner that he would be a little bit late today so Raina tucked the girls to bed alone.
• As usual, she was sitting in the middle of the girls' bed, her head against the headboard, reading them a bedtime story.
• Raina turned to her left and saw that Adrie was fast asleep. She turned to her right and saw that Alexa was feeling sleepy as she kept on rubbing the back of her palm against her eyes.
