Donelle leaned against the sink, watching out the kitchen window, her face furrowed with concern.

“If you caught one of the kids spying on someone, you’d have his head,” her husband’s voice came from behind her. She turned and went to sit beside him.

His eyes roamed her face. Then he leaned forward to stroke her cheek. “Trouble in paradise, love?”

“I’m afraid so.” Something just wasn’t making sense. “Holden, it’s painfully clear that those two are drawn to each other.”

“And?”

“And though they haven’t known each other long, it feels right for them to be together. There’s just something about Connor Alexander …” She put her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her hands. “I’m certain he’s trustworthy. But I get the oddest feeling that—”

“That he’s hiding something?”

Her eyes met his in surprise. “You think so, too?”

He nodded. “At the beginning of dinner he was fine. In fact, I think he was enjoying himself. Then just before he left, it was as though a cloud passed over his face.”

“Exactly!” Donelle was relieved it hadn’t just been her imagination. “He looked upset, almost angry. And then he left.”

Holden leaned back in his chair. “So, what if it’s true? What if he is hiding something?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t any idea how we could find out.”

“Well, I’m certainly not Sam Spade, and neither are you.”

Donelle’s lips twitched. “Sam Spade? Good heavens, dear, you’re dating yourself.”

“I’d far rather date you.” He reached for her hand.

She entwined her fingers with his, loving the warmth and familiarity of his clasp. He leaned forward, brushing a gentle kiss across her lips.

“It will work out, my love. We’ve seen God’s protective hand at work in Taylor’s life more than once. He’s not going to stop now.”

Gratitude filled her as they bowed their heads, taking their concerns and confusion to the One they knew could make all things right.
