Sam sat in her office, papers everywhere. She had to know what Adam knew, and the answer was somewhere in the files. And if it took her all day, and all weekend, she’d find it.

She twisted the wedding ring on her finger. She’d put it back on after Adam dropped her off the previous evening. She wanted him back. She knew from kissing him that the spark was still there, and that he loved her the same way she loved him. Perhaps they could work through things and fix their marriage.

She wasn’t complete without Adam. Just like she wasn’t complete without God in her life. She needed them both to form a triangle. The circle was good, but a triangle would make her whole again.

She’d hoped he’d have been in the office by now, but perhaps something had come up with another of his cases and he was stuck in court somewhere.

The door opened. “Another message for Mr. West. What do I say?”

Sam sighed, wishing her staff knew how to knock. Perhaps she should send a company-wide memo about the importance of knocking and what a closed door meant. “Tell whoever it is to ring his office, not mine, please, Tessa. I have no idea where he is.”

Her PA nodded. “Will do.”

Sam turned back to the papers on her desk. She pushed a hand through her hair, trying to loosen a knot with her fingers.

The door opened again. “Sorry, it’s Mrs. Bryant again. She says it’s urgent she speak with Mr. West.”

“Just write the messages down. I’m trying to work here. And learn to knock, will you?”

“OK, sorry.” The woman backed out of the room.

Sam pulled the ring off her finger and slid it onto the chain around her neck. She tucked it inside her shirt. Best not to let anyone in the building see it. And if it was this Mrs. Bryant all the time, perhaps there was something going on between her and Adam.

Sam turned back to the files, her irritation and despair growing the more she read.

It was early afternoon before Adam arrived at Sam’s office. He’d spent a frantic morning in court, dealing with an emergency custody order, which had gotten messier as time went on. In the end the judge made the child a ward of the court, thus solving the problem for a week at least. With any luck he and the other lawyer would be able to agree on something by that time.

His heart thrilled at the thought of seeing Sam again. After the previous evening, he’d allowed himself to hope that things could change between them. He wanted to talk to her, see if she still felt the same way about him. And if so, maybe they would arrange some counseling with Pastor Jack to talk through what happened with Immy and to get a Biblical view on their marriage.

He smiled at her from the doorway. “Afternoon, Sam. How are you?”

Sam barely glanced up. “Fine. You’re late.” Her voice was as stilted as her body language.
