One by one the rest of the family came down and Catherine broke the news that Devon had left. When she told Carl and Keelie, Carl got a strange look in his eyes. He shook his head and sat heavily in the chair, scrubbing his hand over his face. “This may be my fault. I had a little talk with Devon last night before dinner. I told him that I had him checked out and that I didn’t like what I had found. I then told him if he ever hurt Sabrina, I would take care of him myself.”

Catherine and Keelie both looked at him with raised eyebrows. “Well, I can definitely see where that might make him uncomfortable, but I doubt that would chase him off unless he already had leaving on his mind,” Catherine advised.

Carl looked up at her. “I don’t know, Catherine; I wasn’t real nice about it. But something about that boy just bothered me and I couldn’t stand it if he hurt Sabrina.”

Keelie placed her hand on Carl’s shoulder. “You feel very protective of Sabrina. I’m sure that Devon understood that. It seems to me that he took your words to heart and left before he could hurt her any deeper.”

Carl sighed deeply. “But was it the right thing to do? I should have handled it differently, prayed about it before I spoke.”

Evan pulled out a chair and sat down. “Carl, I have found that God can use our mistakes to achieve His greater purpose. Maybe what you said wasn’t exactly what God had intended, but that doesn’t mean good won’t come from it. Devon had a lot of personal demons to deal with; that wasn’t a secret. But I don’t think he had a bad heart. Maybe what he needed was a reason to get cleaned up and straightened out. I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed back up one day a changed man.”

Keelie reached out and took Carl’s hand. “Why don’t we lift Devon up in prayer right now?” The couples all joined hands and prayed over Devon James Lane, that God would at that very moment start to call on his heart and gently usher him into His kingdom. They also prayed for Sabrina that God would give her strength of heart and peace in this matter.

Sabrina sat on the end of her bed a week later. Tonight was New Year’s Eve and she had been moody and depressed since Devon had left. She knew all she had to do to feel better was to pray about it, but for some reason she held on to the pain like it was the only connection to Devon that she had left. She turned the broach over in her hand, studying it like it might yield some answers to the endless list of questions she had. Finally she got up and found a small box with a lid and after carefully wrapping the piece in tissue, she put it up in the top of her closet.
