No Wasted Tears

Destiny took her seat, holding her hands tightly in her lap, trying to remain calm. The events of the day were catching up with her with lightning speed. She took a few slow, deep, calming breaths and let them out, hoping they would begin the boarding process soon. The fear of being caught lingered on her mind. If she let it, Destiny knew, it would take her over completely. Just thinking of Stanley, of everything that had happened, made her feel dizzy, and she forced herself to push it away. She couldn't wait to say one day that it was a lifetime ago. A lifetime she'd never forget. And a mistake she'd never make again...and certainly not with anyone like Stanley. Straightening, Destiny turned to face the boarding attendant. It was time to start her new life. Running from her past is exactly what Destiny plans on doing. She finally snapped the night her abusive boyfriend, Stanley, nearly killed her. Now, she's ready to leave him behind and begin anew on the other side of the country. What she doesn't expect is to meet Adam, the handsome pastor of Seattle's most lively church.
