When Jennys alarm sounded at 6:00 the following morning, she was already awake. It was the day shed finally get to see Cole, a day shed been anticipating since shed first come to Mountain Haven. She felt equal parts excited and nervous as she quietly made her bed, pulling up the purple comforter hed sent in his first care package to her.
Since that first box, hed sent a half dozen books and magazines, a framed photo of Dahlia and another of the one theyd taken together by the Sequoia sign on her birthday, and a couple cases of Dr. Pepper, which shed shared with her roommate Jan, who currently remained curled up and asleep in her own bed.
