Une place pour deux

Résumé

— J’ai un autre cadeau pour toi, annonça-t-il.

Brenda le regarda, le souffle coupé. Cette fois ce serait le vrai cadeau. Elle se rappela la façon dont se terminait ce jeu autrefois. Frank l’embrassait, et inévitablement, ils finissaient par faire l’amour. Mais rien n’était plus pareil aujourd’hui.

Elle baissa les yeux.

— Tu m’as… déjà gâtée, balbutia-t-elle troublée.

— Si tu n’en veux pas, dis-le-moi. Je n’insisterai pas.

Brenda hésita un instant. Le jeu allait-il recommencer ?

— Je voudrais mon cadeau, finit-elle par déclarer.

She'd spent many long, lonely nights waiting for him to come home and recently had been able to put the headache of their young love behind her. Now Luke was back in Waldo, and he brought with him all the passion and promise of a love that was meant to last forever....
