Sweet Salvation

Chapter 1

A little surprised

Catherine’s POV

I watched Sara as she reversed her SUV down to the street. Lindsey waved at me and I waved back. Ryan was sitting next to Lindsey in his car seat. I smile; my life has never been as good as it was right now. In these past couple of months I had experienced real love and warmth in a relationship with the one person from who I never expected to give me that. With Sara, yes Sara my co-worker and a woman nevertheless. Okay, I fell in love with women before but I never gave into it. Tragedy came and shook Sara’s life, and my own, upside down and I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I need her like I need air to breath, I feel incomplete and misunderstood when she’s not around. I miss her gentle touches on my skin, the butterfly kisses she steals from me when she thinks that no one watches. We both realized how much we need each other and Sara stayed at my house when she recovered from her injuries. And recently she moved most of her personal belongings into my house, but she still held on to her old apartment. Which is completely understandable, she hadn’t been too lucky in relationships either.

Sara’s POV

“Hey Sara, where are we going?” Lindsey asked for at least the tenth time since we drove off.

“It’s a surprise Lindsey, stop asking, ‘cos I’m not telling.”

Lindsey pouted and I knew that I would give in if I looked at her, so I just concentrated on the traffic.

“Sara! Where’re we going?” Ryan exclaimed while he clapped his hands.

“Lindsey, see what you started!” I said in a mock dramatic tone of voice.

Lindsey snickered and soon we where all laughing. Minutes later I parked the car at a parking lot when Lindsey finally recognized where we were going. I got out of the car and opened the door for Lindsey.

“We’re going to the zoo? That’s so cool.” Lindsey said while she wrapped her arms around my neck.
