Garrett started to come back to the world, and he hit the water release button because the water had cooled to the point of being cold. When he looked down to Sara, who was still resting on his chest, she lifted her head slightly, but even that seemed to be too much for her to do. Garrett had to admit though she was not experienced at all, she was a very quick learner. He waited until the water had drained enough that he could feel her shiver slightly. He then nudged her to a standing position, where he found himself admiring her body for a minute or two. Then he got up and h

It had been some time since he had a woman near him, but this one was so different from the ones he had in the past.

Garett was dressed in one of his better suits as he waited by the door for Sara to come downstairs. It had been a year almost since she had moved in and then stayed and made the house a home for the both of them. Garett looked down by his feet to the car seat that held their son Franklin who was now barely a month old. Though he really didn’t want to take his new infant son to the courthouse, it was something they both needed to be there for when they read the verdict on Joyce Holt.

Garett walked into the offices a new man. The ring seemed to have life in it, and he knew he had a lot to live up to.

Everything was going to be done very quickly, and within a week, it would all be finalized.

The soft smile that had been on her face as she slept, knowing that she and he both felt the same about each other and that everything they had hoped for was going to happen someday as long as they were together and worked to keep themselves that way. He knew they were finally on the same page of the book.

Garett stood there waiting, looking at her. The house went silent until the dogs started barking at something in the back yard though he knew it was an animal and not people. His dogs had very distinct barks for when they saw people though it made her look toward the back yard.“Don’t worry. It’s nothing but some animal walking in the field.&rdquo

Sara smiled to herself as she looked through her mother's things and then her sisters. She could remember without the pain that came with the memories. Sometimes they had worn the items. She was happy to know where they were. She thought it was funny that in ten years, she hadn’t thought where certain things were after she had settled into Joyce’s house. It was odd in a way. She had never questioned anything that the older woman had said as she spouted things that sounded like they could be the truth to a fifteen-year-old.
