Chapter 21

WAKING EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING, TYLER sat up in bed covered in a layer of sweat. Raking a hand through his hair, he glanced over at the clock. It was just shy of four thirty in the morning. He had another dream, the same repeating dream he had been having for a little over two weeks now, ever since the last time he’d heard from Olivia. He blamed it all on stress from the change in his and Olivia’s relationship. They had been obsessive in their relationship the last few months. The two of them were seeing each other and talking daily, and now there was a deafening silence between them. She didn’t call or text anymore and he’d altogether stopped trying after being ignored repeatedly. He’d even tried going to her work twice, and Jasper had intercepted him, saying she wasn’t there and he couldn’t give out her work schedule.

He pushed the comforter off with a huff and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. Hunkering over, head almost between his knees, he clasped his hands together and prayed. God, she’s not answering my calls or texts. She doesn’t want to see me. I know she’s not a believer, but I think she’s close to being one. I don’t want You to lose her, God, and I don’t want to lose her either. Please . . .

Slipping off his bed, he headed down the hallway toward the kitchen. The dream replayed in his mind as he walked. He was in a forest, the sun was shining down across the tops of the trees, and the birds were singing. He felt joyful, exuberant. It felt as if someone was walking beside him, but when he turned to look, there was nobody there. Then, he came to the end of the path and pushed his way into shrubs and bushes. It was dark, he felt unsure of what was happening, and then he pushed through past the shrubs and was suddenly out on a grassy mountainside. His vision lifted from himself and the whole picture came into view. A lake, and more mountains, and the sun was shining brightly. He was overwhelmed with the scenery, the breathtaking awe he felt in every part of himself, and then poof! He woke up.

After the coffee brewed, he poured himself a mug and took his Bible with him out the sliding glass door that led to the cement patio with a fire pit facing the lake in the east. It wasn’t very often that he had a chance to sit in the twilight of the morning and enjoy his coffee and his time with the Lord. He set his mug of steaming-hot liquid on the small table beside the chair and sat down. He looked out to the peaceful lake and thought of God. He thought of how God had spoken into existence such beauty and majesty. Turning his gaze, he followed the tree line around the lake, and in the far distance, he could see houses.
