New Horizons

Teaser for My Next Book!

Waking up that morning, Esperanza would be lying if she said she felt as if someone was watching her. She had made sure all the doors in her home was locked after her mother had gone to bed, claiming that she just wanted to be sure. She supposed it was a habit she had picked up after Alexander's death when the locks were invented in the early 1800s, around 1805. It made her feel safer, namely because she didn't want her children to get hurt by anyone like they had before.

Shaking the feeling of being watched, the brunette got changed into some leggings and a grey sweater, along with a pair of memory foam sketchers. After putting her hair into a messy bun and doing her teeth, he headed out to Richard Rogers to meet up with the rest of the Hamilcast. All the while, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following and watching her. Was it Aspen? She thought. No, Aspen would make her presence known. I'm probably just paranoid.

In no time at all, she made it to the theatre where Daveed was also just turning up. "Esper! Hey!" he greeted, grinning as the fifteen-year-old ran up to him, side hugging him. "How are you?"

"I'm good," replied the brunette as they headed in, Chris greeting the two of them when they had entered as he had only just entered ten minutes before them. "How are you two?"

"I'm as good as I can be," Chris replied, ruffling up Esperanza's hair much to the girl's chagrin. "Anyway, we've got a big rehearsal today, don't we?" Daveed and Esperanza nodded, following the tall man to where everyone was gathered on the stage.

"There's the lady of the hour!" Lin exclaimed, a massive grin splitting his face in two as a blush crept over the girl's face. A squeal was heard in the midst of the crowd and suddenly someone barrelled into her.

"Esperanza!" exclaimed Sasha, hugging the girl tightly as she chuckled.
