Stabled (The Stables Trilogy #1) - Plot & Excerpts
and Maple couldn’t sleep. Everything hummed; her mind, full of questions. Her body, full of desires she hadn’t anticipated ever facing again. The lingering, persistent memories of Tony’s cruel smile and harsh hand. Her new room was taking getting used to, as well. Shadows fell differently than those in her old room at her parents’. There weren’t any of the reassuring creaks and groans of the farmstead. Everything here was cold and dark at night, and above all, it was silent. The silence was what unnerved her. It left too much room for imagination. Eager to fall asleep, but knowing it wasn’t coming yet, Maple decided to go for a walk outside. She thought she’d go look at the stable on her own, smell the horses and hear their comforting snorts. The walk might clear her mind enough to grab a precious few hours of sleep before she started her new life the next day. She pulled on the jeans she’d left crumpled on the floor and then her boots.
