The moisture flooding Tim’s eyes made it impossible for him to see. He blinked and felt a trail of tears burn a path down his cheeks. Over and over again he read the last part of the letter, unable to fathom the emotions that coursed through him. A part of him ached for what he’d already missed—being with Kari when she found out about the baby, helping her through the morning sickness. Just like last time.

Only now, if she was already three months along, the danger of miscarriage was largely past. And that meant . . .

He let his head fall back and uttered an audible groan. He really was going to be a father. At a time when he’d fallen in love with another woman, he was finally going to father his wife’s child. The thought was more than he could bear and made him desperate for a glass of wine or a shot of whiskey. Anything to dull the pain.

He stifled a sob. Suddenly he missed Kari more than he would have thought possible a few days before. He wanted nothing more than to take her in his arms and beg her forgiveness. If only there were some way to go back in time, back to the days before he’d met Angela.

As if scales were falling from his eyes, he began to see himself as he really was. What kind of a creep had he become? No matter how busy or inattentive Kari had been, that didn’t justify his taking up with Angela.

He closed his eyes and wondered what to do next. He could call Pastor Mark. Or he could call Kari, drive to her parents’ house, and tell her he was sorry.

But there was one problem.

The feelings he had for Angela Manning were as strong as ever. She was young and vulnerable, despite the veneer of cool toughness she displayed around campus. Over the course of the past year she had bared her heart to him, and his love for her was not a passing fancy. It was real—as real as his feelings for Kari had ever been.

He closed his eyes and saw himself dancing with Kari at their wedding reception. She was beautiful beyond words. A wave of desire washed over him, and he was disgusted with himself.

He wasn’t a player, not like some men. But somehow he had managed to end up in love with two women. One in a familiar way that tugged at his heart, the other in a new and exciting way that made him feel needed and important.

The image of Kari at their wedding remained. Her hair had been up in some kind of amazing design that day, and just a few pieces hung in soft wisps near her face. Her expression was fresh, hopeful, impossibly tender.

And what about him? He’d been happy and full of life that day, ready to take on the future. How had everything gotten so bad? How had they gone from the couple in his memory
