Resistance was futile, even though the invitation was attached to the ugliest little plant Jonas had ever laid eyes on.

No problem. Between his luck with houseplants and Trix’s curious chewing, this leafy green whatsit the florist just delivered would be dead in a week.

Jonas tossed his jacket on the kitchen counter, Helen’s words still ringing in his ears. Respect. Love. Attention. He’d show Emilie that and more—to please Helen, and definitely to please the Lord.

He’d be pleased in the bargain, if Emilie agreed to let him press on with construction at Carter’s Run unhampered by her fellow history fanatics.

Hadn’t his good old Fielding charm unlocked many a stubborn female heart in the past? Jonas grinned and dropped onto a kitchen stool. Dr. Getz won’t know what hit her.

An uneasiness in his chest told him he was off the mark there. Okay, Lord. Not charm. Encouragement. The pressure on his chest lifted as he unfolded the “You Are Invited” note, determined to keep his intentions honorable—and, if possible, his golf course intact.

The message was printed with a brown crayon. From Sara?

No. It was signed by Emilie.

Dear Jonas:

“Dear”? Things were already looking up.

Since we seem to share an interest in dirt …

Hence the brown crayon. And the plant. Clever, Doc.

please accept this peace offering and an invitation for tea Thursday afternoon at four.
