CHAPTER

TWENTY-THREE

The bus hit a rut, and Linn grabbed the English textbook on her lap to keep it from spilling onto the dirty floor. She wasn’t sure why she had it open anyway since she hadn’t read more than two sentences since she stepped on the bus fifteen minutes ago.

No, her mind was only on one thing: Adam. She both dreaded and looked forward to seeing him at work today, and she wasn’t sure which feeling was stronger. She hadn’t seen him since the kiss and didn’t know how he’d act when she did. Would he feel guilty and ignore her? Would there be only awkward silence between them?

Had he relived the kiss a hundred times like she had? She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the vinyl seat. She’d only been kissed by a handful of guys, but she knew one thing. The passion and feeling that had been stored up in that kiss had been enough to fill the Sears Tower to the rooftop.

She closed her English book, finally giving up the thought of studying. As she slipped the book into her book bag, she saw the letter she’d retrieved from the mailbox on the way out of the apartment.

She pulled it from the bag and tore it open. At least a dozen pictures were nestled inside, but she only took out the sheet of stationery. She would save the pictures for last . . . like a long-awaited dessert at the end of a meal.

She opened Natalie’s letter, two small pages written on parchmentlike paper that had moose and bears chasing each other around the border.

Hi, Linn!

I hope you had a nice Christmas and that it’s not as cold in Chicago as what I hear on the news! As you know, Kyle and I were married on Christmas Eve, and we have moved into our new house. Little Grace has the best bedroom. It has a huge gable overlooking our backyard with a window bench and bookshelves. It’s a little girl’s dream room!

Thank you so much for sending her the precious bracelet. I will make sure it is well taken care of, and one day she will understand just how much her birth mommy thinks of her and loves her.

Linn stopped reading and looked out the bus window, her eyes stinging. She watched people exiting the bus and noted it wouldn’t be long until her stop. As much as she wanted to hear about Grace and see pictures of her growing, it was hard. She wondered if it would always be this hard. She knew she’d done the right thing for her baby, but would it always feel like a part of her was missing?

Her eyes found the page again.

I hope things are going well for you in school. I know you are going to ace all your classes, and I can’t wait to see the future God has in store for you!

Have you had any luck finding another place to stay, or are you going to be staying with Paula for a while? She can be a little intense, but she’s a softie at heart.
