Chapter 14

I woke up the next morning to Thomas standing beside my bed not saying anything. "Hey Thomas, are you alright?" "Yes, mam." He turned around and walked away. That was so strange. It started making me nervous. I shook the feeling and got out of bed. I got ready for the day, trying to shake the feeling that there was something different about Thomas. Like he was angrier than before.

His eyes held a hint of anger. I tried so hard to push that thought out of my head. I needed to because it was time for me to step up and be a mother again. So I washed my face and headed into the kitchen. I heard all three kids laughing. It made my heart smile to hear. I walked in, just in time to tell Mr. Knight goodbye before he headed to work.
