Chapter 112

  Brandy

  Biting my fingernails, I was curled up on the sofa with a blanket and the fire roaring. I didn’t know why I was nervous, but I was. What would Alexa think of me? The last time she had seen me I was six years old.

  I had dressed in jeans and a tight sweater after taking a shower and washing my hair. I had even put on makeup which I never did. When I heard the pick-up coming to a halt outside, I got up and made my way to the front door.

  When I opened the door I looked into the greenest eyes I had ever seen. They sat in an oval face with a straight nose and lush lips. Alexa was taller than me, and when she smiled her teeth were perfect and pearly white.

  “Hi, Brandy, are you going to let me in?”

  “Oh, shit, sorry. Of course, come on in.”

  I stepped aside, and Alexa walked in followed by Dad. He gave me an approving nod showing he appreciated the fact that I had dressed up.

  He helped Alexa with her coat and hung it on one of the pegs.
