CHAPTER 6
Spending the next summer back in Orchard Grove with Chris was as marvelous as I expected it to be. I think we averaged about four hours of sleep a night. I told him all about my deliverance experience. He was more open-minded about that sort of stuff than I was, and he was happy for me. Even then, he didn’t really know how far I’d sunk that fall. I really glossed it over when I explained it to him because remember, in my head the only reason I crashed that hard to start with was because the two of us weren’t together. So now that we were a couple again and even more in love than before, I was certain I wouldn’t crash again.
You know how it is when you step into the sunshine after being shut up in the dark all day? As glorious as the light is, it’s painful, that much brightness.
