Madison sat silently in the Jeep, listening to the thunder rumble as they drove back to the ranch. The interior of the car was soaked and she was shivering on the outside, but her heart was so warm she didn’t care.

Neither had spoken a word since Carsten’s invitation to dance, but much had been said, just the same. Sometimes thoughts were best expressed without words.

Carsten reached to the console and turned the dial to activate the heater. The floorboards warmed instantly, and Madison pushed off her wet shoes, wiggling her damp toes against the flow of air.

She tried to analyze what was in her heart. God? She wanted His opinion. Was He watching, listening? Madison closed her eyes. Carsten hummed softly. What had just taken place?

They had shared a dance, true, but so much more than just that. It had felt like an unspoken agreement of the heart. They had forged a bond, an unexplainable, undeniable connection that linked their souls together. It first happened that night in Germany, and had maintained its strength over a stretch of time and distance. Was this what love felt like? Madison wasn’t sure, but she knew she didn’t want the feeling to go away.

Her musings made the drive back pass quickly. She exited the car, feeling as if she were floating on air, cliché as the expression might be. She hardly noticed the way her wet shoes rubbed a blister on her little toe. She noticed nothing but the delicious way she felt inside. Was this what home felt like? Was that what she’d been missing all these years?

Carsten took Madison’s hand as she reached to open the front door. She paused and then made her decision. She tilted her face up to his. His lips covered hers in a gentle, sweet kiss.

Madison’s heartbeat increased. When he kissed her, he really kissed her. There was nothing else like it. Carsten nuzzled her cheek with his. It wasn’t rough at all, but smooth and intoxicating. She kissed him again. Carsten slowly backed away.

“We better go inside,” he said firmly. His voice was deep, and Madison knew the reserved look in his eyes. It meant they needed to go inside and have Rita act as chaperone. She warmed at his chivalry, and despite the flutter of disappointment, she nodded.

Carsten opened the door and led the way inside. He bent down and kissed Madison on the forehead. “Go on to bed. We’ll talk tomorrow.” His eyes said everything his words didn’t.

Madison obeyed, feeling as if each stair under her feet was the next stepping-stone to the fulfillment of her dreams. Who would have thought after all this time, she and Carsten would find a way back to each other? Thank you, God. Maybe this really was You all along.

Humming softly, Madison flipped on the light to her room. She froze in the doorway. Something was different. Heart pounding in her temples, she sucked in a breath of air. All instincts screamed to run, but she fought against it.
