“Falling in love is out of our control. The heart wants what it wants. And if we’re very lucky, the person we fall in love with falls in love with us.”

Shayla Donahue

Chapter Seven

By the time Daniel brought Lorelei home from the barbecue, she was beginning to lose some steam. It had been a long day which had started out with a flight from Barbados to Pelican Bay. Although he hadn’t stayed long, Daniel had carried her luggage inside the house and chatted with her for a few minutes.

They had shared their first kiss right by her doorway as he’d prepared to leave for the night. She had known right before he kissed her that it was going to happen. Their gazes had met and she had seen something flickering in his eyes mirroring her own feelings at that very moment. When his lips had touched hers, her soul had rejoiced at the sweet tenderness of his touch. As his lips moved over hers, Lorelei inhaled the scent of sandalwood that hovered around him like a halo. When the kiss ended, Daniel asked her if she wanted to go out this coming week, to which she had joyfully said yes. Spending time with Daniel was high on her priority list.

Running into Micah and Faith at the airport had been pure serendipity. Being with Daniel and his entire family at the Donahue barbecue had been incredible. Even though she was a newcomer, everyone had treated her as if she was a beloved family friend. And best of all, she had been able to spend more time with Daniel and see him in a whole new light. He was a little bit more light-hearted around his family. And he laughed more. The love his family shared was the stuff people dreamed about having in their lives. Although it had been wonderful to be in the midst of such love and warmth, Lorelei couldn’t help but wonder why her own family had been the very opposite of the Donahue’s.

It was the type of question she had always posed to God in her younger years. Why couldn’t she have been born to parents who cared about me? Why didn’t they love me? Why are some people so alone while others have so much? Wasn’t she worthy of such happiness?

Those questions had driven her away from God for a time, but she had found her way back to His love.

She felt a little guilty about resurrecting those thoughts, especially since Daniel’s family had been so gracious and warm to her. Lorelei still harbored the dream about having a large, bustling family, which was ridiculous. It was too late for such things. It hadn’t been her destiny.

Her cell phone rang, providing her with a welcome respite from her thoughts. She quickly realized it was Olga calling, no doubt to check in regarding the shoot in Barbados. She’d been so wrapped up in the Donahue family barbecue that she’d forgotten to give her agent a call earlier.

“Hi, Olga. I’m so sorry for not calling you earlier,” Lorelei said as she answered the call.
