Chapter 13 - Death's Shroud

Laci longed for her bed after the day she had, but she felt better as she slid in between her cool sheets knowing those terrible days were over. She hadn’t signed up to take her G.E.D. yet, but she at least had the information she needed to get started. She couldn’t wait to begin helping other women get off the streets, helping them begin new, productive lives.

She pulled the covers up around her shoulders as she rested her head back on her pillows, eyes closed as she savored the comfort that surrounded her. The past few nights she slept in her own bed, her actual bed and not the guest bedroom in Rhychard Bartlett’s condo. While she appreciated everything the Warrior did for her, she must admit she felt better being back in her childhood home with her family, in her bed, with her things. She felt the smile spread across her face. There was no way she would risk losing this again.
