Chapter 2: Sizing Him Up
“I’m home.” Brittany’s mother’s voice floated through the house as she opened the back door.
“Hi, Mom.” Brittany put her phone in her pocket and walked out to greet her. “How were things at church?” she asked, leaning up to kiss her cheek.
“All right. Where is everyone?”
“Sabrina is up in her room, talking to her soulmate on the phone.” Brittany rolled her eyes. “Doug is at work. He texted me a bit ago, said he had a chance to pull some overtime, so he might be home late. And Kenna and Bill went to the park with Mrs. Murphy’s kids. They should be back around five, she said. And Dad’s at work, of course.”
“Good. I have a chance to talk to you alone.” Her mother guided her to the living room and sat her down on the couch. “The new priest is here.”
