Saving Grace 14.
The morning was bright and sunny and the sky was pleasant, and it looked like rain wouldn't fall today, but that would be great. She had had her fill of lightning and thunder. Last night, she had slept alone in the house because Noah had to go to work on the night shift, and even though at first, she had been scared, but she had put in the alarm, sat for hours after he was gone until she fell asleep, and inky woke up this morning. Perhaps, it helped that she was tired before when she went to get the toiletries at the store, or because she was just tired from settling into a new town. Either way, she had slept like a baby, feeling safe and at peace. Now, she was on the line in front of the cashier, waiting to pay for the groceries she had bought. This morning when she had wanted to make breakfast, because she was truly hungry, she had met the fridge empty, the cabinets as well, and she wondered how Noah are before now. Guessing that he ate at Charlotte’s place, she had no choice bu
Saving Grace 15.
Deciding to pick up one or two things over at Charlotte's, she drove in that direction as she left the grocery store. She was too hungry to wait until she was done cooking to eat something, so she would pick up something to snack on. She soon got to Charlotte’s shop, and she got down from the car. She wasn't sure what to get, but she hoped her menu have sour cream coffee cakes with the cinnamon-walnut swirl.As she opened the door to the shop, the bell jingled as it usually does, only not as loud as before but it still made her jump a little. She stopped a few feet from the counter and smiled her usual cheery smile at Charlotte. "Hi, Charlotte. Good morning." She said with a wide grin.Charlotte smiled right back with all her teeth on display. "Hello Grace, good morning. What would you like to get?" She asked.Grace thought for a moment then she said. "A hot cup of coffee to go and a bag of sour cream coffee cake with the cinnamon-walnut swirl if you have them." She said.Charlotte's
Saving Grace 16.
When Noah mentioned his mother, Grace didn't think she would be meeting her this earlier, or that this tall and beautiful young-looking woman would be her. When she had opened the door earlier to the door knocking, she had been surprised to see a woman standing there, with a bag and a basket. "Hello," the woman had said. “Hello, how can I help you?” she had asked and the woman had laughed and shook her head. Although, she should have been angry at the sarcastic laugh from the woman, but she hadn't found it offensive. It was just as if Grace had said something funny. “Help me? How can you help me?” she had smiled again, then. "Sorry, I don't mean to offend you. I'm Tammy, Noah’s mother.” She had said and Grace had almost gasped. “Oh, wow! I didn't know that,” she had said, pulling the door wider for her to come in. "I'm sorry, Noah didn't say you were coming, ma'am. He's not indoor as well.” She said. Tammy laughed again. "Ma'am? Young woman, that’s offensive, don't you think? I'
Saving Grace 17.
Noah left work late today, but it didn't stop him from hearing about his mother’s escapades. She did that sometimes, no matter what anyone said. He knew without being told that his father would have advised her against it, but as he knew, she was a strong headed woman and a matchmaker. At least, she prided herself on being that, and after a long while of trying, she had succeeded with his brother. Ezekiel had met his bride to be through their mother’s antics. She had one day asked him home to her house, saying she was down with the flu, and needed him to pick up her prescription at the hospital, and on his way drop something at the old Judge Raymond’s house, and that had been all. Ezekiel should have known that it was just a tactic for something, seeing as he could have called Noah who was a doctor and worked at that same hospital she wanted him to pick up a prescription from. Now, she was trying to do the same thing with him, and he knew that the moment Charlotte told him. “What
Saving Grace 18.
Being a military brat taught Jimmy Guerrero everything he knew, and it had been an enlightening one, one he thought he had seen all, but this he hadn't. As he watched what was in the video, he gaped his mouth open, not believing his eyes. How had this happened to anyone and they had survived it? The recording showed that this had happened four months ago, and he shivered to look at it.So when his phone rang suddenly, he had been so startled he had jumped and then froze. No one would watch this and not have their blood run cold. “Hello,” he heard after finally picking up his call. He was sitting in his garage with the laptop he was using to watch the recording in front of him. He paused, looking around to see that no one was around. Thankfully, it was Noah that was calling him, the good doctor that had helped him revive his daughter when she had almost died from drowning, or almost getting drowned. He was still thinking about calling him when he saw the tracker, an illegal kind of
Saving Grace 19.
Parking his truck in front of Jimmy’s garage, he got done from the car and walked into the place. He was still in his scrubs and all sticky but he didn't care. This was more important. He remembered he had forgotten to lock his car, but it was safe as long as it was parked somewhere he could see. As he walked into the garage, he saw Jimmy and Molly seated at the corner in front of a table he guessed Jimmy used as his office. Well, he was sure he did all his paperwork there. “Hello, Jimmy.” He greeted them as he approached them, and he saw Jimmy standing up, carrying Molly in his arms. There was a glint in her eyes as he looked at her to greet her as well. "Hello, Mo.”He was the only one that called Molly that way in this town, and that was because he loved the way it sounded, plus she was always pleased when he called her that. "How is my best girl doing?” he asked her, raising his brows in question. Molly nodded her head. "Hello, Dr. Roberts. You look nice in your scrubs.” She s
Saving Grace 20.
As Noah drove home, all he could think about was what he had watched, and how that pissed him off. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, wanting to punch something as hard as he could. What the heck was this world turning into, with everyone doing what they wanted, men beating women like it meant nothing, and licking their blood? Damn! He shook his head.What the hell was that anyway? Was that something that people do now, just to feel they were in power, or it was just that man he had watched on the screen with Grace? Just when he thought he had seen it all, he saw this! It was as if he had been watching a movie and not something that had happened for real. Even in the few movies he had watched, he had never seen that before, except maybe in a vampire movie. He wondered how many other women were passing through a thing like this, wishing he had some kind of superpower to save them all, but since that wasn't possible, he would help the one right in front of him. It was the least
Saving Grace 21.
Okay, maybe Grave had magic hands, or it was the way she was suddenly making him feel, but either way, her hands on him made him feel so good, so good he wanted them to stay there forever if possible. Her soft hands dug into the panes of his back, rubbing and kneading in all the right places. He had just had the most relaxing bath ever, and all she added to the water was Epsom salt, a green teabag, and a sprinkle of oatmeal, yes, oatmeal, and he had had the most relaxing bath as well. He had a good sleep in the bath as well, and right here under her skillful hands, he was looking at a rematch for sleep. “You have a tattoo!” Grace said. Noah had expected that question from her the moment he invited her into his bedroom the second time to massage him. He had opened the door and turned to walk back to the bed shirtless.“Yes, I do. I know it's not something you expect from a doctor like myself, but it's not a tattoo I regret.” He said. “I see. It's a half wing that looks like it cam
