least his own teenagers weren’t tempted to drink, and he thanked God that he’d stayed in Bloomington so they could continue on with Christian Kids Theater.

As for the meeting, all that mattered were the words Cody had just spoken. Now Jim could only pray that rest of his team felt the same way 188

KATY HELD THE meeting at a coffeehouse.

Ever since Dayne’s accident, she’d been neglecting her role as director of CKT, and now she needed help with the theater kids at least until after the honeymoon. It was too soon to mention the fact that she might be busy filming a movie after that.

She needed to take stock of her support team and how committed they felt about Oliver! the upcoming show. Katy would be around for the entire season, and Dayne had agreed to help. But between planning their wedding and taking a trip or two to Los Angeles, they would need help. And then there was the spring season, which Rhonda would have to direct.

They also needed to talk about the rumors that the owners of the theater wanted to sell to a high-rise developer. The area coordinator had that information to share. In all, the future of CKT felt shaky Katy’s heart ached with even the possibility of the organization closing down. But they had to talk about it.

and breathed in the warm smell of coffee and fresh-baked croissants. She found a table and laid out the agenda for the meeting. She’d made copies for Rhonda, Ashley, Al and Nancy HeImes-the music directors, and Bethany Allen-the area coordinator. Dayne was in telephone meetings with his agent and the producer, but he might join them later. She had an extra copy of the agenda just in case.

It would feel good to discuss everything and make a plan. Otherwise, the time until her wedding would pass in a blur of wonder and starry-eyed moments. She was more in love with Dayne than ever, more certain that their future would be everything they ever imagined.

But Katy had a commitment to the kids and families of CKT, and with Wilma Waters planning the wedding, she needed to focus on the work God had given her. And whether it could continue after the coming season.

The coffee shop wasn’t crowded. Just a few people hovered over newspapers or were lost in quiet conversation at a couple of the booths.

Katy left her notes at the table and went to order. There was no one else in line. “Tall latte, extra foam.”

The college-age girl behind the counter held her eyes a few seconds longer than necessary, and when she brought back the hot drink, she hesitated. “Are you Katy Hart?”

“Yes.” Katy paid for her coffee and smiled. “You must know someone in CKT.”

“No.” The girl looked starstruck. “It’s just … I’ve seen your picture in the magazines, and I knew you lived here.
