ログインSurprise!!! A second chapter in the same day. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
We took the elevator down to the first floor and walked to the back door and then outside. I knew she was taking us to the stables, and I could not wait to see it. Doctor Martin saw my excitement and asked, “Where are we headed?” I chuckled, “We are on our way to the stables.” She asked, “Animal therapy?” I nodded. She smiled, “I can’t wait to see it.” I chuckled, “I was thinking the same thing.”As soon as we reached the stable doors, Lori explained, “Inside this building is our animal therapy area. We have a therapist on staff who specializes in animal therapy for both children and adults.” Linda Jones asked, “Do you also have a trainer on staff?” I nodded, “We do. He actually sleeps in the stables at night. He wants his scent to be recognizable by all the animals.”Lori opened the barn doors and we all stepped inside. She yelled, “Goldie!” Just then, a beautiful Golden Retriever ran to Lori and sat at her feet. Lori smiled, “That’s a good girl.” She turned to us, “Goldie is a licens
When we stepped into the house, all we saw was a desk and a decorative wall behind it with an open door. Lori started, “This room is the front office. We decided to set it up this way to keep abusers from knowing this is a women’s shelter. The secretary knows how to greet people and tells them we are Runaway Angel Resort. She is also required to sign an NDA before she is told anything about the place.”Louis was the first to speak, “This looks like a hazard if an abuser happens to show up.” I smiled, “It could be, but the secretary is also specially trained in firearms safety and has a sharpshooter medal. She is also a former Tai Kwon Do instructor and an MMA fighter.”Louis chuckled, “Can you say overkill?” Everyone laughed until I responded, “We take the safety of our residents very seriously. Our secretary also goes with us if we need to take a couple residents to town.” His cheeks blushed, “I’m sorry, Harley. I truly was not meaning to sound pretentious. I was just trying to joke.
After a filling lunch, Daniel and I went to the garage and took the SUV to the clinic to pick up Dr. Martin. When she reached the vehicle, Daniel opened the back door to let her in. She thanked him as she sat and Daniel closed the door, then got in the front seat. I asked, “Are you ready to see the shelter?” She smiled, “I am. I would love to hear about it while we’re on our way there.”I smiled, “I decided on the name ‘Runaway Angel’. It’s not just a shelter, either. We have a therapist on staff who is trained in equine therapy. We also have horses who are trained to be therapy horses too. We have an exam room and office for a doctor, but honestly, our doctor that we had chosen decided she wanted to stay where she was.”Dr. Martin smiled, “First, I am absolutely in love with that name. It’s so appropriate yet obscure enough to throw off the general public. Second, I love the equine therapy idea. I think that form of therapy is amazing in getting people to open up. Third, if this place
Daniel and I spent two hours staging the shop and I was about to suggest we stop when there was a knock at the front door. I looked outside and found Ray standing there with a covered tray in front of him. I unlocked the door and asked, “Hey, Ray, how’s it going?” He answered, “It’s going great. I’m actually hoping you have some watch bands made. I’ve had a huge creative streak going lately and I need to unload some stock.”Daniel and I laughed as we all walked to my workshop. I smiled, “It just so happens that I have a bunch made. What designs were you thinking of?” He lifted the cover from the velvet tray. I gasped and laughed at the same time. Ray furrowed his brow, “What’s so funny?” Daniel looked at the watch faces and chuckled, “You’ll see.”Daniel walked into the vault and came back with a wide tray. I unlocked the lid and lifted it. At the very next moment, Ray chuckled as he shook his head, “I should’ve known you would have matching bands for every face I’ve made.” I laughed,
When I opened my eyes Amy and Annie were standing over me. Annie asked, “What happened? You scared me to death.” I picked my head up from the back of the couch and rubbed the back of my neck, “I don’t know what happened. I just sat down on the couch and must have passed out because I don’t remember what else happened.”Amy decided, “I think I need to call an ambulance so we can take you to the hospital to be checked out”. I answered, “No there’s no need to do that. I’m awake now. I’ll be okay.” Amy reluctantly agreed, “That’s fine, but I’m watching you. Just in case your blood sugar is low, I want you to drink some orange juice.”Annie agreed, “And I texted Daniel while you were out. I just texted him to let him know you just woke up.” Just then the door to the stairs flew open and Daniel was in front of me faster than I had ever seen anyone move. I watched him kneel in front of me and asked, “Hey love, how are you feeling?” I shrugged, “I feel fine. My neck is a bit sore, but I feel o
When we got home, I kicked off my shoes at the door and flopped my exhausted ass on the couch. Daniel laughed at me, “Is our bullshit bin full for today?” I laughed, “It’s over full. Can you not smell it?” Daniel smiled, “Love, you always smell like honeysuckle vines.” He sat down next to me, and I laid my head on his shoulder as I sighed, “I think I need a glass of chocolate milk and then I need to go to bed with you.” He kissed the top of my head, “I would be happy to oblige that desire.”By the time I had finished my chocolate milk, I was barely able to keep my eyes open, “Okay, time for a shower. Are you ready? I may or may not need help staying upright.” Daniel lifted me bridal style and walked to the elevator, “Your wish is my command, my love.” I smiled, “You’re so perfect for me. Have I told you that lately?” He smiled, “You don’t have to. You show me every day.”When we reached the bathroom, he turned on the water while I continued, “I will never want anyone but you. That incl
Victor POVOur court date has snuck up on me. My attorney called me this morning asking to meet in order to prepare for tomorrow’s hearing. I decided I would rather do it in the early evening so everything would still be somewhat fresh on my mind. He didn’t tell me that he asked my mother and Daya t
I stood next to Daniel and asked, “Daya, what are you doing here?” Daya sneered, “Getting pictures. I’m going to have evidence that you cheated on Victor for court.” I laughed, “Are you stupid? Daniel wasn’t even in the country while I was with Victor. He can prove it with his passport or even his f
Harley POVThe security guards approached us and one advised, “Ms. Gordon, Ms. Frost, we asked your driver to go to the side entrance. There is already a mob of reporters waiting for you to exit. I will lead you there.” We followed them to the side doors and our limo was right there at the door. I s
After everyone went home, Daniel and I settled on the couch while Annie and Amy cleaned the kitchen. I asked, “Are you upset with me for doing this?” Daniel shook his head, “Not in the least. I know you want your freedom from him and my stepmother. Hell, I want your freedom from them. I want you as
