When You’re Ready Teaser #3

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I’d give you a special moment from “When You’re Ready” featuring Clare and her mother. Mom – was thinking of you when I wrote this.

My Mom always seems to know the right words to say and the exact moment to say them.

I nodded, letting the tears fall freely down my cheek. And just like she used to do when I bruised a knee or came home from school with another broken heart, my mom pulled me into her arms and held me. Her warm, familiar embrace gave me the comfort only a mother could.

“Does this man make you happy, Clare?” she asked softly.

“Yes Mama,” I answered, pulling back to look into her beautiful green eyes that mirrored my own.

“Do you love him?”

“I think so. I don’t know yet,” I answered honestly.

“Take your time, sweetie. Know your heart before you give it away.”
