BF-26: Kayleigh (Chapter 02)
It had already been a long night and the bars had been closed for only an hour. Kayleigh wiped her hand across her brow, stretched her back, and let loose a long sigh.
“Order up,” Mike called out.
“I’m on it,” said Kayleigh with resignation.

BF-26: Reese (Chapter 01)
The first time it happened, she didn’t understand what it was taking place within herself. It was the first day of school – the first day of junior high. Reese had been dreading this day all summer. The months-long break gave her an escape from the daily torment subjected upon her by fellow classmates.

The Guardians
Prologue

Guardian Angel by Pietro da Cortona, 1656
She remembers running through the grass. It must have been early morning because the dew still clung to the blades. It felt like little angel kisses on her bare feet.

The princess grew up in a world of satisfaction, yet she could not find satisfaction within herself.
