TWENTY MINUTES LATER, THE DOORBELL RANG AS BRIAN was saying good-byes in the foyer.

“Wonder who that is,” Cyd said.

“Probably Logan,” Heather said. “We’re going to a baseball game.”

“You’re headed to Busch Stadium?” Lindell asked. “They’re playing the Reds today. Sweet!”

Brian was closest to the door, so he opened it. “Hey, man,” he said. “Saw you at the conference. Love the praise and worship at church, but we haven’t formally met. I’m Brian.”

Logan stepped inside, shaking his hand. “I’m a fan. Love what you do. We should get together soon.”

“Thanks. Definitely.”

While Logan exchanged greetings with Cedric and Lindell, Heather said her good-byes to the women.

“Hope you don’t mind if I leave my car outside your house a few hours,” she told Cyd.

“ ’Course not,” Cyd said. “Have a good time.”

Stephanie glanced between Heather and Logan. “Hmm.”

Cyd pushed her. “Mind your business.”

Heather smiled. “I know what you’re thinking—but it’s not like that. For some reason, God’s just giving me real friends. I’ve never had that.”

Stephanie came closer. “If God’s giving you real friends like him, girl, you know you’re blessed.” She peered over at him. “Our family has known Logan for years. He’s a really good guy.”

“I’m so glad you came over,” Kelli said, hugging Heather.

“I would’ve been mad if I missed it. Now I can say I was one of the first to hear the hit song ‘I Will Love You.’”

“Whatever.”

“Seriously. And I’m expecting big things from the rest of the songs you two will write.”

“Yeah, well, I’m not sure yet about any of it,” Kelli said. “But if it does work out, would you consider doing background vocals? Cyd said you’ve sung some beautiful solos at church.”

The question took Heather off guard. “That would be a dream come true. But much as I’d love to say yes, I’m still feeling like music is a no-go for me right now.”

“Heather, we’d better leave,” Logan said, turning from his conversation with the guys.

They said good-byes and scurried out. Logan opened the passenger door, and Heather got in, then watched him walk to the driver’s side. When they were on their way, she said, “Hey, I just learned something else about the new Heather.”

He glanced at her. “What’s that?”

“I used to get this skitter thing whenever I saw you. You know, because you’re so cute.”

He tossed his eyes in embarrassment. “Wait. Used to?”

“Yep. Skitter’s gone. Just noticed it. Guess I really am starting to see you as a big brother.”

“Cool. Never had a little sister. Maybe God thinks I need one.” He paused, rubbing his chin. “That was off the cuff, but there’s probably truth in it. I don’t have any women in my life who I really talk to. Maybe because women tend to make it known that they’re interested in me romantically. I only share that to say I think I’ve put a wall up—or maybe God put it up. Until I’m ready for a serious relationship, I don’t see the point in letting anyone get close.”

Heather stared at him, appreciating his honesty.
