Example text
Tut mir leid, Ethan. « Ethan blickte hinaus auf das stille Wasser der Bucht, in der er die schönsten Jahre seiner Kindheit verbracht hatte, und seufzte, als die Sehnsucht in ihm aufstieg. »Wir sollten uns näherstehen, aber nachdem Richard gestorben war, schien sich alles einfach aufzulösen, und Alec geriet zwischen alle Fronten. Wir schreiben uns, aber Stan erlaubt mir keine Besuche. Ich will nicht einen noch stärkeren Keil zwischen Randi und Stan treiben, also habe ich nie darauf bestanden.
Dana beobachtete sie über den Rand ihres Bechers. « Evie schaute mit undefinierbarem Ausdruck auf. »Wenn du glaubst, dass ich ihn hier behalten will, irrst du dich. « Ihre Stimme klang so hart, dass Dana sich fragte, ob Evie von dem Kind oder von sich selbst sprach. Evie war im Alter von fünfzehn durch eine befreundete Polizistin ins Frauenhaus gebracht worden. Das freche, intelligente Mädchen hatte Danas Herz im Sturm erobert, und Dana war ihr Vormund geworden, obwohl sie sie eher als jüngere Schwester betrachtete.
Langsam richtete er sich wieder auf. »Wenn du es nicht für mich tust, dann tu es für Richard. « Ethan sog langsam die Luft ein. Er erinnerte sich nur allzu gut an die letzten Augenblicke, bevor er das Bewusstsein verloren hatte, nachdem ihr Fahrzeug auf die Mine auf der Straße von Kandahar gefahren war. Richard hätte ihn liegen lassen, hätte sich retten müssen. Aber er hatte es nicht getan. Er war geblieben und hatte gekämpft, hatte mit seinem Körper Ethans gedeckt und die Kugeln abgefangen, die der Feind aus dem Hinterhalt auf sie abfeuerte.
