Almost there........... Kate Maclean's Redemption
............with about 70 pages to go, and despite dragging it out for as long as possible, the inevitable is rearing its ugly head as I approach the final section of Kate Maclean's Redemption. I feel so lucky and privileged to have been given the chance to read yet another Pros classic, one which I shall return to again and again..... but how to deal with the bereavement process? With the feelings of emptiness which always come after finishing an unforgettable story? With the conviction that nothing else will *ever* compare or satisfy? Maybe I should read it again *before* I finish it? Hmmmmm.....bit perverse that, even for me. Hope and pray that she'll write *more*.....? Form a Kate Maclean Survivors' Group? Any joiners? Any fellow addicts out there? Free Membership.......
Doyle was the second man to appear, shades in place, a stranger again in a well-cut dark suit..............
It took him just a moment to understand, and then he looked away from her to the helicopter and what she'd been staring at..... The Governor had still to disembark and Doyle was standing in place. And all his attention, it seemed, was fixed on Bodie.
Bodie couldn't see any emotion on his face, the shades seeme to mask more than his eyes, but they were turned toward him.
Bodie's eyes darted back to Sylvie and he found she was looking at Doyle again. And when Bodie looked compulsively back to the same place, Doyle was still looking at him......
And who could blame him?
