A Forest Between Us: A Small Town, Second Chance Romance (Crescent Pass Book 1)

The imposing brick building looms before us, appearingabout twenty stories high, even though realistically it can’tbe over four. I grab onto the handrail, taking the steps up at a crawlas my stomach does a slow roll.There’s a gentle hand on my lower back and then Owen’s there,his brows knit as he studies me.“I’m fine,” I say before he can ask, and pick up my pace.He holds the door open for me and I murmur a quiet thanksbefore heading for the information desk in the center of the lobby. Igive the woman our names and she looks up our courtroom, wherethe Honorable Mark Fleming presides.“Do you think this judge will go easy on us?” I ask Owen as wefind a bench outside the courtroom to wait at.He shrugs. “No idea. Hopefully, Larry put in a good word for us.”I wipe my sweaty palms on my jeans, my stomach still twistinginside. “If they golf together, they must be on good terms.”
