The wind blew a light breeze across the evening sky as a black sedan pulled into a nearby driveway. Leaves brushed with the wind, almost as if they were dancing together to a soft ballad. For a brief moment, Sara watched, not even realizing she needed to get the groceries inside before the perishables went sour. Her earthly green eyes then drifted toward the house. Some lights illuminated individual rooms, which indicated that someone was home. Shutting the car, Sara lifted her sunglasses over her forehead and placed them atop her head as she pulled the key from the ignition. With her fingers, she pushed her long dark auburn hair behind her ear, tossing the car keys into her bag, which sat in the passenger seat. For a moment, the young doctor fished through her brown colored purse for her phone. ❝Where did I put it?❞ She murmured to herself, looking through every pocket and pushing things around to get to the bottom of her bag.
Finally, once she felt it under her makeup case, she pushed her bag back and brought her phone to her lap. One new text.
LINCOLN Text Message
Sara smiled.
Pushing her finger across the screen, her eyes quickly read what he’d written her. The two of them were trying to plan a surprise party for Michael. Sara promptly replied back with a thumbs-up emoji before she arched her back to slip her phone into the back pocket of her jeans before pushing the door open and climbing out of the car. She snatched her purse and left the driver’s door open before she headed over to the backseat. As she slung her bag over her shoulder, Sara grabbed the one sizeable brown bag of groceries, nudged the door closed with her foot and locked the car, the driver’s door now shut as she made her way to the porch of her house.
Her house that she shared with Michael.
A flutter within her chest caused her to blush when she stepped inside the foyer of their home. ❝Michael?❞ Sara’s voice called as she made her way into the kitchen and placed the bag down on the kitchen island.
Twisting her slim body around, Sara walked to the refrigerator and pulled open a door - she started to put the groceries in their respective places in the kitchen.
