Chapter 22

THEY’RE QUIET THE ENTIRE WAY to the church. Gio grips the steering wheel until his knuckles are white. “Are you afraid of attending mass today?” Gracelynn asks when she notices. “If not, I can attend and you can come pick me up later?”

Giovanni doesn’t know how to tell her he hasn’t been in church for three years.

He looks over at her and sees a sincere woman who cares about everyone. He envies her caring nature. “I appreciate you thinking of me, but I haven’t been to church since my late wife passed away.”

Gracelynn inhales and he takes his one hand off the steering wheel and places it in hers. The simple gesture of touching her skin comforts him.

“I am so sorry, Giovanni. Why didn’t you tell me you had a wife? You knew I lost Angelo and you couldn’t tell me about your loss?” She looks sad and he doesn’t want her pity.

“I told you I had my own loss, if you remember. I just can’t talk about it yet. Maybe one day we can…I just can’t right now and I hope you can understand.” He grips her hand hoping that she understands that he’ll tell her, just not now. She must get it because she squeezes his hand right back, smiles at him and looks out the window smiling at the sunshine passing through the beautiful scenery. But nothing could be more beautiful than her sitting next to him, with the sun shining down and seeing it hit her beautiful hair like a halo.

“We’re here. Don’t be alarmed if people smother you and be nosey,” he tells her as he opens his door and then hers as they then walk hand in hand to the church. Once they enter, they notice Anne and Kat near the front of the church. Anne greets them and they sit next to her.

The church service goes well and after the sermon, Gracelynn thinks the pastor talked wonderfully, as if he talked directly to her soul. She realizes she needs to be more open and be happy with herself and her life. After mass is over, they decide that since Gracelynn is still in pain, they’ll head back to the cabin, and take a rain check on lunch. They promise they’ll get together with Kat and Anne again real soon though.
