Kate Whyte bolted from the door the moment Kelsey came into view. “I’m late. And so are you.”

Happy day to you, too.

Kelsey called out an apology, though, and pushed inside. The floral display on the table by the door—you could tell the season just by looking as you came into The Prayer Room. They’d changed from chrysanthemums to dried flowers and wheat. In a couple of weeks, there’s probably be holly or poinsettias or something.

I wonder if Wayne does it. Never thought of that.

A sniffle in the prayer closet told her she wasn’t alone. She unbuckled the case and pulled out her guitar before moving to the closet. But a teenager met her at the doorway. Kelsey offered the brightest grin she could and asked if she could help. “Kate had to leave.”

“Good.”

Oh, great. What horrible sin have you committed?

As if the girl heard the silent question, she muttered. “I swear she sees me as a walking sin. Like my mere existence is, like, proof of God’s wrath on America or something.”

Why is it that something that would sound overly dramatic for anyone else seems understated for Kate?

Before she could offer to pray, the girl scooted toward the back door. “Thanks for being cool. I’ll come in later next time.”

And with the backdoor chime sounding, the girl was gone. Silence. Kelsey scanned the prayer walls, looking for any new sticky notes. A possible divorce, a wayward teen, gratitude for provision. All in a day’s prayer.

She hadn’t even had a chance to sit down and tune her guitar when the front door opened. Kelly peered around the wall and saw Wayne from The Pettler, standing there with a vase full of sunflowers. “Hi, Wayne!” She plopped her guitar down in a wingback chair and hurried to his side. Uncle Mel. He probably thought I needed cheering up—so sweet.

“Got a delivery for you.” The man’s expression closely resembled that of a constipated baby as he stood there holding it out to her.

“You okay?”

“I’m good.” He shuffled his feet as she took the flowers, and that’s when she saw it—excitement. The man nearly exploded with excitement.

Over flowers?

One step at a time, he backed toward the door. One slow step at a time. “You have a good day now.”

A tip! Kelsey held up one hand and asked him to wait as she raced for her purse. “Just a second…”

“No, no. You enjoy your flowers. I just love seeing people’s faces when they get ’em. It’s why I do this.”

“Yeah, right. You just love flowers. I know you.” She stroked a petal, remembering Reid’s description of Jesus and the flower. “Reid told me about the daisies—beautiful.”

Still, he inched back once more, each step slower than the last. And that’s when it hit her. He wants to see me read the card. So, with a wave and another hearty thanks, Kelsey set the bouquet on an end table and pulled the card from the fork. The tiny envelopes—as a child, she’d thought they were the most wonderful things in the world.
