Waiting
for Dusk
by

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Read
a book.
Fall
asleep.
Meet
a boy.
Is
it real or just a dream?
Katie's
everyday life suddenly turns exciting when she travels back in time
and meets the boy of her dreams. Thinking of nothing else, willing to
leave the real world behind, she's determined to find out if it's all
a dream or not. Returning again and again, Katie almost has her
answers until one day her precious book goes missing.
Excerpt
;
At that
moment, there was a tap at the window. The girls grew quiet and all
turned toward the window. It was nearing dusk and hard to see.
“Probably
some creature,” Ruthie said casually.
Then
there was a tap, tap, tapping sound again.
“Unless
it knows how to make a rhythmic tapping sound, I don’t think it’s
an animal. I’m going out there to see,” said Katie.
“Not a
good idea!” Lucinda shouted after her.
By then
Katie was down the hall and out the door. The warm night air hit her
face. It felt good to get out of Lucinda’s room. It was closing in
on her, especially after the strange attack on Anna.
Katie
was deep in thought, when she heard a sound. A footstep? She spun
around to see Drew standing there. “Oh, I didn’t mean to startle
you, Miss Kathryn. You did say you were staying at the boardinghouse
and I thought I’d come to see if you are comfortable. If you have
everything you need.”
That’s
a good line, Katie thought. He was so handsome in the moonlight she
could have stayed in that spot forever. Drew walked over to her. “I
have never seen anyone as beautiful as you.”
“Lights
out!” Mrs. Johansson called in the distance.
Katie
couldn’t help it. It was her dream after all. She fell into Drew’s
arms and kissed him. He kissed her back. They seemed to melt into
each other as one. Right then and there Katie wished that it was not
a dream and that it would never end.
