Dawns Everlastin' (former Title: Dusk Before Dawn) Book 2 - Plot & Excerpts
Roan could not block out the mournful sibilations as he forced down the bland brose he'd earlier concocted. He also could not shut down his awareness of Laura's silence, or her laden disappointment with his failure that morning to locate a working telephone in town. She'd awakened at the crack of dawn in a foul mood. Not coffee or breakfast, or his attempts to cheer her up, had made the slightest difference. He'd even donned one of Lachlan's ridiculous full-sleeved shirts to appease her indignant airs over his state of undress. The woman simply expected more of him than he could deliver. And it irked him. So the brose was lumpy. He'd never professed to be much of a cook, although how he could have screwed up something as simple as oatmeal mixed with boiling water, butter and salt, was beyond him. Regardless, a thank you from the woman would have been appreciated. Peering at her from his lowered head, he found himself counting the number of times she lifted her spoon to her mouth. Deliberate small portions, as if to prolong the agony of finishing the meal.
