CARRYING THE SMALL canvas bag slung across her shoulder, Eden Kingsley walked down the garden path. The garden was beautiful, and she could see how being in such a relaxing place would help Rafe. There were well-trimmed hedges surrounding fountains, small areas planted with flowers attracting butterflies, and shaded areas with benches and statuary.

Eden made it to the small cottage and knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so she knew Rafe was still somewhere out in the garden. She had been waiting for this moment for months. Eden had gone over in her mind a thousand times what she would say and all of Rafe’s possible responses. After talking with Gabri, she knew a lot of the negative scenarios about what Rafe might say were very likely, and it made her anxious.

She continued her walk down the shaded path and came to a small park area with benches and statues. She saw Rafe from behind sitting quietly on one of the benches. As she got closer, she saw Rafe had a sketchpad out, but it was closed. Her heart beat hard at seeing her, and she stopped for a moment to calm herself. She wiped the nervous sweat from her brow, took a breath, and then stepped forward with determination to get her love and her life back.

Rafe had heard footsteps along the path and knew it was Eden because Nora would not have walked this far, and Gabri had much heavier steps. She had closed her sketchbook as soon as she heard the footsteps and waited for them to come closer.

She looked up and saw Eden come around the bench and stand in front of her. The sun shined down on her and made her golden blond hair shine. Rafe couldn’t help thinking how beautiful she was and wished she could just sit and enjoy the vision and not have it spoiled. But she knew Eden had things to say to her, so she looked down, away from the image, and waited.

“Hi,” said Eden softly as she sat next to Rafe, putting the canvas bag at her feet. “Bronte is taking a nap.”

“Yeah, she was pretty worn out,” said Rafe noting how much she missed hearing Eden’s voice.

“Your friend Nora is nice,” said Eden. “She looks like she’s due any time now.”

Rafe nodded her silent agreement but couldn’t bring herself to look at Eden.

“She invited me because she said you agreed to see me,” said Eden and watched Rafe toy with her pencil. “I have a lot of things I need to talk to you about, and since I’m here now, it seems like I can’t think of them all,” said Eden nervously. “You look good.”

“Thank you,” said Rafe softly. “You look good too.”

Eden swallowed and cleared her throat. “I’ve missed you. Everyone misses you.”

“I’m sorry,” said Rafe. She could tell Eden was nervous and thought it was sad they had come to this. “I had to come here. I had to get away from everything.”

“It’s okay,” she said softly.
