CHAPTER TWENTY

Kenya

A loud crash jolts me out of a dreamless sleep. I sit with my head clutched in my hands until my heart calms from the scare. The storm pounds at the house, shaking the shutters and rattling the boards we used to cover the windows. My mind drifts to the bungalow and its resident.

Cameron should be fine. Despite my reassurance to myself, concern churns in my stomach. I rise from the bed to the windows, but I have no visibility. I curse the wooden slats preventing me from checking up on Cameron. Another crash decides me.

I grab a robe and rush out of the house. The powerful wind makes me fight for every step forward, pushing me back with every third step. The short walk to the guest house takes an eternity while thoughts about my foolishness bombard me. My arrival will probably wake Cameron and embarrass me in the process.

Despite my reasoning, I press onward. My gut hasn’t settled and I won’t be able to rest until I can reassure myself of Cameron’s safety. I turn the bend and nearly fall to my knees when the house comes into view. A branch the size of a small tree has caved in the roof where the bedroom is.

No, this can’t be happening! I’ve been good, I haven’t lied to anyone, and I was finally getting to know Cameron. Things like this aren’t supposed to happen. We’re supposed to have more time together. Yet I can’t deny the truth before me or remember another freak accident that shouldn’t have happened or how it snatched parents away and all the times we should have spent.

Without conscious thought, my feet run toward the damage. Visions of Cameron crushed beneath the weight of the tree and roof cause my heart to freeze before galloping a thousand miles a second. Fire rips through my throat until I’m almost hoarse from screaming Cameron’s name.

Movement from the side of the house draws my attention, kindling a spark of hope. I run in that direction to find Cameron, a backpack on his back and his suitcases in hand, coming from the house. I drop to my knees as cool rain slashes against me. Relief paralyzes me.

When he catches me kneeling on the ground, he rushes to me. “What are you doing outside?” he yells. “Don’t you know how dangerous it is to be out here right now?” He grabs me and forces me up, then forces a suitcase handle into my hand. “I saved what I thought was most important in your office, but I probably missed something.”

His words don’t make any sense to my befuddled mind when I’m still recovering from seeing him unharmed. “My office? Why…”

He pulls me toward the main house. “Come on Kenya. We need to get inside now!”

I hold my questions and race behind him. Confusion clouds my mind as unanswered questions hit me one after another. We fight our way back inside the house and I collapse in the entryway as Cameron locks the door behind us.
