He rubbed his face with his hands and surged to his feet. He thought about her traipsing through the heart of the city alone at this hour with only a purse and an umbrella and thought about all of the terrible things that could have been waiting for her during that five block walk. He whispered a prayer of thanksgiving for God's protection over her in those early morning hours, and retired to his own bedroom, sorry that their reunion had not gone well at all.
Any secret, unacknowledged hope he had of winning her over with a smoothly executed reunion meeting was now gone forever.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
HALLEE BRIDGEMAN lives with her husband and their three children in small town Kentucky. When she’s not writing Christian romance novels, she blogs about cooking and homemaking at HalleeTheHomemaker.com.
Hallee started writing when her oldest child and only daughter was a baby, but a busy professional career and being the wife of a deployed soldier had her shelve her books for another time. Two more children, a cross country move, and God’s perfect timing brought the books back to be dusted off and presented to you now.
Hallee loves coffee, campy action movies, and regular date nights with her husband. Above all else, she loves God with all of her heart, soul, mind, and strength; has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ; and relies on the presence of the Holy Spirit.
She prays her books are a blessing to you and would love to hear back from you.
