Quote by R.L. Mathewson

“When she felt the hot creamy chocolate go down her throat and into her stomach some of the tension in her body disappeared. Three long sips later and she felt close to being able to face the day. By the time half the cocoa was gone she was in her special place, the place where everything was fine and she could face anything including Connor and a visit from her dad. By the time she finished the rest of the cocoa she'd be able to keep this calm going for the rest of the day, but of course she needed a second cup.”

Checkmate

The word checkmate derives from the Persian phrase shah mat, meaning the king is helpless or defeated. In chess, it marks the conclusion of play when one player's king is under attack and cannot be removed from threat. As a book title, Checkmate has been employed by numerous authors across genres including mystery, thriller, romance, and instructional works. The concept carries strong metaphorical weight, suggesting decisive victory, strategic culmination, or inescapable confrontation. Without additional identifying information such as author name or subtitle, specific narrative content cannot be determined, though titles bearing this word typically involve themes of competition, finality, intellectual contest, or romantic resolution. more

That someone was watching out for her. And that someone was Addolgar.”
