Chapter 65: THE DAY BEFORE THE DAWN: MAGGIE

The night I planned for Noah was designed to take his mind off the pending court hearing and it went even better than I'd expected. I was happy to see how relaxed he appeared considering what was at stake. I trusted him, but I wasn't complacent of the pressure I knew he must have felt. I worried it may have affected his depression and because of that and his history with alcohol I removed all possibility of Noah losing control. I didn't think he would; however, it did no harm to be mindful of his past.

By arranging a meal at his safe place, it minimized the risks of him being overwhelmed. I think Noah knew why we'd gone there and if he had an issue with that he never said, and if he did, he got past that quickly because we had a fabulous time.
