CHAPTER 15

As Laura sat on a bench in front of the variety store in Paradise, she began to worry. She had turned in all of her books at the school, sent everything home that she didn’t think she would need in her new life, and dropped off her rental car. Now she was waiting for Eli to pick her up. But what if he didn’t show? What if he’d changed his mind about asking his sister to take Laura in? Maybe his folks had talked him out of his plans. Or maybe his sister had said no to his request.

She drew in a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. The last time she’d waited on this bench for Eli and had been worried he wouldn’t show, he’d only been running late. That was probably the case this time, too. At least she hoped it was.

She leaned her head against the wall behind her and tried to focus on something else. It was useless. All she could think about was Eli and how much she wanted to be with him. If he didn’t show up, she would be devastated, and she’d never be able to face Darla again.

Darla had tried again this morning to get Laura to change her mind about joining the Amish faith. She’d reminded her of how hard it was going to be and said that Laura needed to give it more thought.

Ever since the day Laura had met Eli, he’d never been far from her thoughts. She dreamed about him at night, compared him to Dean during the day, and imagined what it would be like to be Mrs. Eli Yoder.

The clip-clop of horse’s hooves drew Laura’s attention to the parking lot, and a feeling of relief flooded her soul. Eli was here. He had come for her just like he’d promised. Everything would be okay now.
