David watched the retreating couple until they disappeared from view, experiencing only a twinge of guilt at his actions. Merrie doesn’t belong with that guy. I did her a favor. He blew out a breath, wondering if he’d acted too hastily. I couldn’t just stand by and watch her get kissed! He sank down onto a park bench, dejected. He’d come to the park for the express purpose of seeing her. Rosa told him it was one of her favorites to take Bitsy for walks in after her shift at work. Since he could only come on his days off, he began to despair of ever seeing her here. Today he’d hit pay dirt.

He thought back to the moment he’d seen Yuppie Man going in for a landing. A red mist had clouded his gaze. What else could he do? His foot had moved of its own volition and chipped the ball expertly across the grass, hitting Merrie in the ankle, precisely where he’d intended.

He’d experienced a spasm of pleasure that he still retained a degree of soccer skill—until he saw the look on Merrie’s face. The phrase if looks could kill came to mind. If that were the case, he’d be out cold right now. Imagine Merrie harboring such strong emotion. She always seemed so quiet and serene. He’d never seen her really angry. That’s not exactly what I was going for here.

When he applied for the job here, he’d looked forward to seeing Meredith after all these years. And he wanted to thank her for her sweet friendship and prayers. He’d always felt guilty for the way he dumped her at the end of that long-ago summer. He’d quickly forgotten her appeal when other girls came along—girls who’d pandered to the worst side of his nature. What a jerk. I’ll be lucky if Merrie ever forgives me.

David rose and picked up his ball. He needed a new strategy for getting back into her good graces. A new strategy—and a little wisdom.
