Just Beyond Daybreak snippet
Something
was tickling her nose. Brushing it aside, Meredith nuzzled deeper into the
comfortable pillow. She still felt the heavy tug of sleep, but another tickle
traced over her ear. Meredith groaned and tried to swat it away, but was
instead greeted with a man’s deep chuckle. “Come on. It’s time to get to
business.”
The
sound of his voice made her eyes shoot open. Meredith didn’t sit up at first.
She just stared at her surroundings. The bold red comforter with black vines
was definitely hers and so was the lamp on the night stand. “Malcolm, what are
you doing in my bedroom?” she asked, finally rolling over to look at the man
leaning over her.
He
was close. So close that she could make out the golden flakes that dotted his
blue eyes. Strands of blond hair brushed downwards, trying to hide the
merriment that danced around those golden flakes, and a grin graced his full
lips. “I’m trying to wake you up, Sleeping Beauty,” he answered, sitting back a
little further away from her. “You’ve been asleep the better part of the morning.”
Peace and Love!
