Ugh. Not only was she late for breakfast, but she was going to need a trip to town soon to charge her phone somewhere. It was still dark as she fumbled with the flashlight, then pulled a dark-blue dress over her head, followed by a black apron. She twisted her hair into a bun and put the prayer covering on, opting to skip brushing her teeth until after breakfast. She knew that Lena and Hannah would clean things up right after the men finished eating, and Charlotte didn’t want to miss out. She could hear forks clinking against plates, so she picked up the pace as she shined the flashlight down the stairs and breathed in the aroma of bacon. “I’m sorry I’m late again,” she said as she eased into her chair and reached for a slice of bread. She was just about to take a bite when she realized they would all be expecting her to pray, so she bowed her head and closed her eyes. I wish I knew You. But even though I don’t really, maybe You can help me find some sort of peace about Ethan.
What do You think about Her Brother's Keeper (2015)?
