Kapitel 34: Chapter 34

Isla followed Kelly's broad back as they walked down the trail of the herd of sheep meandering ahead of them. The sun was still hidden behind the mountains on the eastern side of the valley and Isla yawned widely, her eyes still heavy with sleep.

Kelly had roused her while it was still dark out, and the rest of the house was still asleep.

She was amazed Kelly didn't want to sleep longer. He'd stayed up far later that she did last night, conversing with his family and friends. Upon returning to the Big House, Isla had been bombarded with new faces who were curious about her, but also wanted to welcome Kelly home. Among those were Derulo, his parents and younger sister, and the woman he was courting, a lovely brunette who had immediately greeted Isla with a huge smile and gentle, caramel colored eyes. The young woman who'd been with Kelly's brother Solomon was also there, and she stuck close to Manda while Solomon spoke with Landon and Kelly.
