Faith raised a hand to her mouth to cover a yawn. She pulled on her black wool coat and rolled her neck a few times. There were a few muscles she forgot she had that decided to remind her of their existence after a day of chasing kids around.

Her stomach flip-flopped as she remembered running into Michael one more time. He’d come over to the kid’s corner to drop off a few pages of music and an outline of the service he was doing the next day. Before she had a chance to say much, he was called away by yet another of the church ladies with yet another emergency that required his immediate attention.

He may say the women in his church didn’t see him as a man, but the way they all ran to him the minute they had even the flimsiest excuse had her questioning her earlier observations.

Her eyes sought him out now. She spotted his tall form across the room in an animated conversation with her sister and her heart stuttered. Maddie reached up and rubbed a finger over his cheek as if she was wiping away a smudge. The two laughed and when another parishioner approached, Michael put out a hand to hold Maddie in place next to him while he turned to talk to the newcomer.

As soon as the woman moved away, Michael turned his attention back to Maddie. From where she stood, their positions looked a little more intimate than casual acquaintances. Had she misinterpreted his interest? Or maybe over the course of the afternoon, he’d had more time to spend with Maddie and realized she was the better bet.

Faith couldn’t watch anymore. Something squeezed in her chest as her imagination played out scenes of growing intimacy between Maddie and Michael, all leading up to a big wedding. She gave an unladylike grunt at the thought. Maddie better not ask her to be maid of honor.

She waved a quick goodbye to her mother, knowing she’d pay later for not saying a proper farewell.

But she couldn’t help it. She needed to get out of there now. When she stepped outside, she was grateful for the frigid air slapping at her face. She was sure that was the reason for the sting of tears behind her eyes.
