Meant For Me (A Second Chance Standalone) - Plot & Excerpts
She thrashed and kicked her legs hard, letting out tiny whimpers as she fought to get out of the sheets that tangled around her body. I flipped on the switch to the lamp beside the bed, and as soon as I did that Claire finally woke from her nightmare. Sweaty and breathing hard, the moment she saw me she jumped in my arms. “I had the worst nightmare,” she cried, digging her nails in my back to hold me tighter. Wiping the hair away from her face, I rubbed her back and murmured soothingly, “Shh … it’s okay, Claire. I’m here. Nothing’s going to happen to you.” She laid her head against my chest and I could feel her warm tears falling down my bare skin. “It was terrible,” she whispered. “I watched them dump you out on the street. You were beaten and bloody, but still alive … barely. They took me away from you.” “I promise that’s not going to happen, baby. No one is ever going to take you away from me,” I uttered gently. I wasn’t going to let them. First thing in the morning I was going to put one of the trackers in one of her bras so I would always know where she was at.
