“This is so nice of you.”

Julie braced herself for another of Brenna’s bear hugs. “I’m not the one you should be thanking. Although the owner wouldn’t want you to thank him, either. He’s a great supporter of the shelter, but he doesn’t like anyone to make a big deal out of what he does. It was his idea to sponsor a lunch for a few of the women and children.” She didn’t add that the owner, Giorgio Romano, had once had a sister who’d died by her husband’s hands. If Giorgio helped one woman escape a horrible situation, then he was more than happy to do whatever he could.

Café Romano was a small, cozy Italian restaurant only a mile from the shelter. Because it was nearby, it was easy to load a group of the women and children into the van and bring them over for a much-needed treat. Julie would thank Giorgio again once everyone was safely on the bus.

She waited until the four women and their children were seated at the table in the private room of the restaurant. She stood and pinged her fork against her water glass. “Everyone, thanks for coming today. We’re going to be served Café Romano’s award-winning spaghetti and meatballs.”

The children, of course, were excited, their faces lit with joy, their eyes wide. Although the moms might have wanted a different meal, they were thrilled that their children were happy. The shelter’s food was all right, but nothing close to the scrumptious food at Giorgio’s. One woman, however, wasn’t as happy.

“Julie, are you sure it’s safe?”

She didn’t blame Mona Willers for being nervous. After spending ten years with a violent husband, Mona had finally made the brave move to flee just the past week. Her child, six-year-old Gilly, leaned against her mother, her big eyes darting to the door every other minute. Julie’s heart hurt for them.

“I’m sure. No one knew about our trip at the shelter until the last minute. No one at the restaurant even knew except the owner. Even the van driver didn’t know who he was driving or where we were going until he arrived at the shelter. We only have one waitress, and the other diners won’t even know we’re here.”

“If you’re sure…”

“I’m positive.”

Mona eased Gilly away from her, assuring her that everything was fine. Still, as she’d already done a hundred times since coming up with the idea, Julie ran through all the details. Just as they’d entered, they’d leave through a back exit. The parking lot and the van would be checked before the women and their children left the restaurant. The wait staff wouldn’t know they were there until they were leaving. Only Giorgio and a female waitress would know the women from the shelter were there.

Everything was perfect. All she had to do now was watch the moms and kids enjoy a great lunch then get them back onto the bus headed for the shelter.

Julie never felt better than when she was watching everyone else have a good time.
