Only then did Kari let the tears come freely. A deep, agonizing sorrow welled within her and came out as the simplest prayer Kari had ever uttered.

Please, God, let us be together one day. Please.

The pain of watching Kari leave was so strong, Ryan felt it with each minute that passed. By the time he got back to his apartment, he was tempted to call the Giants' front office and tell them to find someone else. He was going back to Bloomington. But that wasn't his style. He needed to honor his commitments-the way his father had taught him.

No, he couldn't leave New York now. He owed it to the team to stay and finish the season. After that, though, he and Kari would have some serious possibilities to discuss.

He was fairly sure the Giants would extend his contract another year. If not, he could find a position with another NFL team. But where would that leave him and Kari? Would she marry him and move to New York? Would she want to follow him across the

304 country while he worked his way into a head coaching position? Was that what the Lord wanted for both of them?

He sighed. There were too many unknowns. At this point there was only one thing Ryan was certain about. Kari had been away from him for less than an hour, and already he couldn't wait to see her again. He poured himself a glass of milk and settled into the sofa-the same spot where he'd sat the day before and kissed her. She would be arriving at La Guardia soon.

He pictured her, a beautiful brunette turning heads as she made her way through the airport, and a twinge of anxiety sliced at his heart. He'd never worried much about flying, even the first few weeks after September 11, when the whole country seemed to fear the skies. But now he felt compelled to pray for the safety of the plane Kari was about to board.

Because after finding her again, he couldn't bear to lose her now.

305

The numb feeling was creeping back.

Landon needed a break from Ground Zero, needed to take a day and sit in the local chapel and weep over all he'd heard and seen and smelled these past two months. But still he kept working.

He'd worked through Thanksgiving and barely taken time to eat a cold turkey sandwich put together by some volunteers. Since that strange afternoon a month ago, he'd stayed away from Nino's. He wasn't at Ground Zero to socialize or commiserate with other hurting folks. He was here to find Jalen.

When it became clear his friend was dead, Landon moved into Jalen's two-bedroom apartment. He and Jalen's parents boxed his clothes and belongings, and afterward it seemed only right that Landon stay there. After all, they'd been planning to share the place.

Staying in Jalen's apartment kept Landon focused, but he spent as little time there as possible. Every hour was a reminder that the job he'd come to do wasn't finished yet.
