CHAPTER 6

Saturday, December 19

Faith slept fitfully, unable to decide what to do about the text message on her phone. It was simply a reminder, but for a few brief hours the day before, she’d shut the whole career dilemma out of her mind. There’d been no room for anything but George. Before bed, she’d spent two hours staring at the Weather Channel, trying to come up with a plan, but she felt like that part of her life was a hundred years away. At last, she’d drifted off into a restless sleep and woke at seven feeling more tired than when she went to bed.

George was coming for her at nine, so she forced herself to shower and dress. She ate an apple off the fruit tray so she wouldn’t look like a famished hyena if they went out to breakfast and made a cup of tea with the single-serving brewer. It helped calm her nerves. All she wanted was to spend another wonderful day with George. Maybe she could ignore the text. She’d come home to Colorado to start over. Why go back to Reno at all? She didn’t want to leave after reconnecting with George. But what if he wasn’t as interested in her as she was in him? What if he was just enjoying her company with no thought beyond the weekend?

She would have to ask him flat out. If he turned and ran because she was asking questions about what future they might have together, that would be devastating, but it would certainly be an answer. She ran a brush through her long hair and grimaced at herself. Where was her lipstick? After a sleepless night, she definitely needed a dab of color. She paused and examined herself in the mirror. When she got up yesterday morning, she’d seen what she saw every day. But something was different this morning. Was it breathing the Colorado air that did it? No. Fresh air was not enough to put a sparkle in her eye and a shimmer of anticipation in her gaze. She actually looked younger today.

And she knew why. George had lit twin sparks of hope and desire within her. When her so-called boyfriend in Reno had turned out to be a crook who only wanted to be with her when she was acting as his shill at the gaming tables, she’d begun to think she’d never want a man in her life again. She’d learned one major lesson from that cad: distrust. But George was from a time that predated all of that! George was sweet and kind and honest and hardworking.

She was secretly glad he’d had a tiny run-in with the law. If he were perfect, she’d never feel she deserved to be with him. So even his flaws were wonderful. She paced back and forth in the room. When she realized what she was doing, she decided she’d wait in the lobby. At least it was filled with people and decorated for Christmas. She grabbed her purse and opened the door.
