Kayla
God is good. Yes, He is.
Kayla sank into a chair with a smile. Finally, everything really was going to be all right. A week had passed since Deacon Williams and Darlene’s confession, and she was free, cleared of all charges, and she was the happiest she had been in a long time. All that her friends had done to help her warmed her heart. There was no telling what would have happened if they had not come to her aid. She owed them her life. Renee, with her wild self, had instigated the mess with Leroy, but she had been willing to admit her mistakes and show how sorry she truly was. She knew better than to expect her to say it out loud, but she’d shown her how much their friendship meant. Actions definitely speak louder than words. Renee had confronted a killer and hadn’t backed down no matter what. Earlier this morning, Nadine, Danielle, Renee, and Kayla had breakfast before Renee had to leave for the airport. She hated good-byes and this time was even harder.
Kayla shifted on the seat and smiled. She was going to miss Renee, but she was relieved that life was back to normal. Next week, she would finally be returning to her job her boss said would be waiting for her whenever she was ready to return.
Hearing a horn blowing outside, she reached for her purse and went to the door. Jermaine was taking her to the airport. Kenya and Asia were finally coming home. A tear rolled down her cheek as she realized just how much she missed them. Things were going to be different this time. She had a lot to be thankful for. Two beautiful girls and a man who loved her. Kayla had not known it was possible to feel so comfortable and fulfilled in a relationship. Finally, she had everything she could possibly need and want. And she had her Lord and Savior to thank.
