Jeremy hurried around Melody’s truck to open the passenger door for her before she did it herself. So independent. He admired her determination. She never asked him if he wanted to come to church with her, she’d simply told him that rumor had it that he was asking about the mid-week services. She wanted to go, too, and told him to meet her in front of the lodge at six sharp.

She’d even let him drive.

“I don’t have a Bible,” he admitted as he parked in the cramped parking lot. “Do you think it’ll matter?”

She got out of the truck and slipped into her leather jacket. “You don’t own a Bible at all?”

He noticed she’d managed to rummage one up. It was old and worn along the edges. Jeremy was sure it probably belonged to her parents at one time.

“I probably have one at my apartment in New York. But not here with me.”

She shrugged. “You can share mine, or download one of those Bible apps. I’m sure you have your phone, right?”

As if he’d ever part with that. Following her toward the entrance, Jeremy quickly downloaded the first app he came across. It seemed to be the most popular.

The people gathered in the foyer knew Melody. But of course, they did. Her resort was practically what fed this town. The revenues they earned from the tourist she attracted, not only in the winter but the summer adventurers as well, all kept the town afloat.

They took their seats toward the back of the sanctuary. It was an old building, probably built back in the early fifties. The walls were a cream color with a red carpet that ran down the center and spilled up over the low-rise stage covered in instruments. Behind the stage was a large screen, the only modern-looking addition. Along the sides of the wooden pews were a series of stained glass windows depicting stories from the Bible. Jeremy recalled some of the scenes. He’d paid attention during Sunday school and Mom had insisted that they all attend a Christian private school during their primary years.

He had the foundation but had let life keep him too busy to even think about attending church. And he only prayed when desperate about something and normally those were whispered prayers spat out while he was on the run. Don’t let me be late for this meeting. Or, his all-time favorite, Lord God help me get through this presentation without falling asleep.

Jeremy sighed as the music started up. Several people gathered on the stage. A woman wearing a long scarf and leather boots. The man wearing skinny jeans with holes in the legs and a colorful sweater.

A smile tugged at Jeremy’s lips and he started singing, as best as he could, to keep his chuckles in check. The songs were upbeat, but he didn’t really know any of them and mostly hummed along. Melody seemed to be doing the same. During their ride down the mountain, she’d been quiet and contemplative.
