A faint thump came from downstairs.
Hannah Lawton sat straight up in bed. Her heart raced as she strained to
listen for more sounds. Had someone broken in? Or was her imagination
playing tricks on her? She’d been in that drifting-off state, the place right
before falling to sleep, and it was possible her mind had manufactured the
noise. Wind rattled the windows panes and thunder boomed in the distance.
A storm was rolling in. Perhaps that had woken her.
Silence followed. No intruder had invaded her home. Hannah let go of the
breath she was holding and silently admonished herself for overreacting. The
death threats she’d received recently were stressing her out. As an assistant
district attorney for Fulton County, it was her job to represent the state
against criminals who harmed citizens. She took pride in her job. Loved it.
But these last few months had been difficult.
A quick glance at the clock confirmed she’d only been in bed for half an
hour. The baby monitor glowed, Charlotte’s tiny form still in her crib. The
six-month-old was an excellent sleeper. Thank goodness. Hannah rose from
the bed and, on bare feet, drifted into the nursery. The scent of baby powder
hung heavy in the air. It soothed her nerves and tugged a smile from her lips.
Her niece lay center in the crib, dressed in a sleep sack with sheep
dancing across the fabric. Charlotte’s arms were thrown above her head. A
silky curl played with one chubby cheek. Tender affection swept through
Hannah. She’d never imagined juggling single-motherhood, but lately, that’s
what she was doing. Her brother and sister-in-law were both Marines. The
military tried to avoid deploying married couples at the same time, especially
when they had children, but there were times it was unavoidable. Her brother,
Ben, was a year into his orders with another two months to go. Her sister-inlaw left three weeks ago on hers.
Hannah had been the only family member capable of taking care of
Charlotte in the interim. Although juggling the baby’s care with her
demanding job was difficult, it was also a blessing. This was probably the
closest she’d ever come to having a child of her own. She’d lost her husband
five years ago in a war zone an ocean away. Patrick had been best friends
with her brother. They’d gone through boot camp together and were stationed
at the same base. When Hannah met him, she was in her third and final year
of law school. Their romance was a slow burn, but Patrick had won her over
with his steadiness and humor.
Falling in love with him had been simple. Losing him had nearly broken
her.
