NINE

Abram gave Marshal Delacure his address. She tapped it into her GPS. He would have preferred to give directions verbally, but she’d waved the offer aside and said it would be easier to use her phone.

“Abram.”

He turned his head to look at Katie and raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to continue. She bit her lip, looking unsure. When she shook her head, he knew she’d decided to wait until they were alone.

Alone with Katie. He’d been alone with her several times. His heart sped up. She was getting to him again, but it was different now. When they’d been friends before, he’d thought he’d known everything about her. They were so happy and so naive. Neither was prepared for the curve in the road that tore them apart.

He was getting to know the woman she’d become. If he weren’t careful, he’d fall in love with her all over again. He flinched. Katie Bontrager was more than a beautiful woman. She was that. But she was also fierce, intelligent and brave.

She claimed her faith had been destroyed. He disagreed. When she’d asked him to pray, he’d seen the light and hope flickering in her face.

She still had faith. It was buried but it was there. If only he could help her bring it back completely. Faith was something too personal for that. It had to be between her and Gott, although he would definitely do his best to flame the spark to life.

That didn’t mean she was back in his life.

It was late afternoon when they arrived back at his haus. His mamm would have dinner almost ready to set on the table. His brother Sam would be home by now with their daed. They usually arrived home around four on Thursday afternoons. His twenty-three-year-old brother was still single. He had shown some interest in a young lady a few years back, but nothing came of it.

His daed came out on the porch when they pulled into the driveway. His bushy salt-and-pepper eyebrows shot into his hairline when he spied Abram riding in a car.

“I’m not looking forward to telling Daed where the buggy is.” He put his hand on the door handle to exit the car.

“He’ll be happy to know you’re well,” Katie stated.

“Ja. That he will.”

The marshal’s phone rang as she shifted into Park. She took the phone off the speaker setting and answered it, her voice tense. “I have to go. You two all right?”

“Ja.” If he weren’t safe at his home, where would he be safe?

She waited until they were both standing outside in the damp weather before shifting into Reverse and easing down the driveway.

“Riding in a car with her is almost as frustrating as anything else that’s happened to us today,” Katie quipped, shaking her head. “If I knew her better, I’d have offered to drive. Seriously, did you see how slow she was driving?”

He nodded as they turned and moved toward his father. “I could have walked home faster.”

She snickered. Her laughter fled as they approached and were caught by his father’s stare.
