Chapter 14

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

I John 5:14-15, NIV

Nicole and Amy headed back to the cabin after the rewarding quilting session to freshen up for dinner in the main house dining hall. They’d made more new friends and strengthened friendships with others. Amy clutched her doll, happy to have several new outfits she’d designed herself. It didn’t matter they were a little crudely finished and somewhat crooked. The only thing that mattered to her was the fact she had enjoyed time with other children now counted as friends, and had accomplished something enjoyable. They exited the library, crossed the sunken living room, and paused at the front desk in the foyer to see if any other packages had arrived. A clerk handed her a manila envelope.

“Thanks.” Nicole smiled as she accepted the mail. Then they continued along, crossing the front porch, and caught a ride on the ranch wagon pulled by a fancy team of mules wearing holiday bells and blinders. The mules, driven by wrangler Jed, gave them a ride along winding Sadie Lane and then took a right turn onto Bridge Haven Road toward the long row of cabins. Nicole shivered as the temperature had dropped, glad she and Amy had worn their puffy winter vests and long-sleeved flannel shirts. It had stopped snowing, but she knew more would be coming soon. Cabin number eight was the last one in the zig-zag row. They’d need to wear scarves, gloves, and maybe coats on their way to dinner.

As they rode along, she opened the envelope from her agent, curious to see what the contents might be. Inside was a book, copies of letters, a script, and a note instructing her to call him at her soonest convenience.

When they were inside the cabin, Nicole plopped down on the sofa while Amy skipped off to her room. First, she enjoyed a brief chat with Drew on her cell. They had settled into a routine of talking only every other day or so. He seemed distracted, but their conversation was always the same since she’d arrived in Wyoming. He’d say he missed her and she’d tell him the same. She’d ask him about his day and he’d ask about her day. Then he’d say he loved her and he was trying to give her the space she needed to make her decision. Driving to a Hollywood event, he ran into traffic, so they agreed to talk later.

After the call with Drew, anxious to find out more about the package from her agent, she pressed a button to autodial Calvin Stonebridge’s cell.

“Hey Nicole, good to hear from you. What on earth are you doing in Wyoming? Did you get the package I sent?” Calvin recognized her call immediately.

“I’m holding it right now.” She looked at the back cover of the book.
