Dayne wasn’t gone ten minutes, but as he returned to his place around the fire, his stomach fell to his knees. Luke was gone. Randi too. He didn’t want to draw attention to the pair, didn’t want some

gofer to hear his concerns and alert the paparazzi. People on the set felt no guilt in passing tips to cameramen. The tabloids paid big money for insider information, and photographers representing all the major magazines were staying at a hotel a few miles away.

No, Dayne couldn’t bring attention to the matter. Instead he walked slowly toward the water. What was wrong with his brother, anyway? The thing he loved about the Baxter family was that they were the kind of people Hollywood knew nothing about. They loved God and their families, and they found a way to make everyday life something worth seeking after, something worth finding, whatever the cost.

But here was Luke Baxter, off somewhere with Randi Wells, while his wife and babies waited for him at home in Indiana. Dayne kept walking until he was out of the glare of the bonfire. Then he peered down the beach in either direction. But even as his eyes adjusted, he saw nothing, no sign of them.

John had been this nervous only a handful of times. He and Elaine were driving to Red Lobster - nothing overly fancy, but John had reserved their favorite booth, the one in the corner of the back room. That way they’d have more privacy. But he wasn’t going to ask the question there of all places. After dinner he would take her to the Indiana University campus, and they’d walk.

Somewhere along the way, he was praying God would give him the nerve to make his move.

As he drove, he remembered how different things had been decades ago when he asked Elizabeth to marry him. By then they’d been through so much together, they felt like they’d been married five years. Elizabeth had gotten pregnant and had a baby, and she’d been sent away and forced to give up the child without either of them having a say in the situation.

By the time she came home and they were allowed to be together again, the marriage certificate was more a formality. Nothing could’ve made them closer than the consequences of their actions already had.
