Chapter 26: BAD DEAL: MAGGIE

Noah reached out and held me by my upper arms. "Trust me, I'd do anything to have a second chance with Rudi, but the courts have already decided I'm dangerous and he's a vulnerable kid. What do they think I'd do to him? Believe me, it kills me every day to know strangers who knew nothing about me took my son away and took that pervert who grabbed me, and Andrea's word over mine."

A compelling urge to comfort him consumed me and I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around his waist. He immediately placed a hand on my head and I leaned my cheek against his chest. His heartbeat was strong and steady, then his arms enveloped me and he rested his chin on top of my head.
