“His wife?”

“We have a beautiful female retriever in the barn. Looks just like him, only a bit smaller. Her name is Honey.”

“I can’t believe I haven’t seen her running around,” Katie said as she gave Buddy another affectionate rub.

“There’s a reason for that. She’s nursing eight puppies.”

“Eight?” No wonder the poor thing hadn’t been out for a visit.

“I’ll take you to see them in the morning,” Emily said with a yawn. “In the meantime, I think we’re going to turn in for the night.”

Katie watched as her sister and brother-in-law disappeared into the house, hand in hand. How wonderful it must be to have someone walk you through such a difficult time, to hold your hand and tell you everything was going to be all right. And how wonderful to know that same person would still be there, day after day, holding you close as you grew old together.

With a sigh on her lips, Katie resolved to shift her thoughts to something else, something a little less painful. She wondered how things were going at the office and promised herself she’d call Hannah in the morning before heading back to Doylestown.

Thinking of the realty office reminded Katie of the property she’d recently listed—the one near the lake. Hopefully there had been some showings there, despite her absence. She smiled as she thought about it. The lake. The house. The acreage. It was the closest thing to heaven she’d seen in a while.

On the other hand. . .as she glanced around the Walken farm as the evening skies kissed it good night, Katie was suddenly aware of the truth. No other piece of property on planet earth could begin to compare with the one in front of her right now.

As Karl made the drive home, he remembered to turn his cell phone back on. Checking the messages, he noted four from the law office, including one that sounded fairly urgent. He would have to take care of that one quickly. He also found a message from Aimee at Bucks County Realty regarding the Chandler property. Finally, Karl was surprised to hear a somewhat lengthy message from a young woman at his church who worked in the children’s ministry, asking if he would consider assisting in kid’s church one Sunday morning a month.

As he flipped the phone shut, he took a moment to let that one sink in. Help with the children’s ministry? He’d never worked with children before. Well, unless he counted all those years ago when he wasn’t much more than a child himself. But even then, caring for little ones hadn’t come naturally to him. On the other hand, just one glimpse at Jacob and Sara’s newborn had melted him like butter. Maybe he had loved children all along and just didn’t know it.

Still, he had to wonder about this particular young woman’s request that he help out in the children’s ministry. Karl had it on good authority—his best friend and pastor, Jay Ludlow— that DeeAnn Miller had her eye on him.
