A Moment of Weakness
“Jade wasn’t hungry, and Starbucks had quiet tables so that she and Tanner could talk without being interrupted.
Jade arrived first and ordered a decaffeinated latte. Her heart was racing badly enough without adding caffeine to the mix. She chose a table situated in a windowless corner of the café. Starbucks was adjacent to a large bookstore, and customers were encouraged to browse through the shelves while sipping their coffee. Jade was certain no one would bother them there. The few customers ...who sat at tables generally stayed near the windows.
She took a sip of her coffee and stared at the front door. All morning she’d been plagued by a sense of impending doom. Several times an hour this feeling had driven her to pray, seeking God’s protection in whatever the day would bring. Still, she was tempted with the notion of finding Ty at school and heading for the Canadian border.
It was raining steadily outside, and Tanner swept into the coffeehouse wearing a business suit and a long, sleek raincoat.MoreLess
