“Hey, honey. You must’ve been expecting me. I didn’t even hear the phone ring,” Brian chuckled.

“I caught it on the first ring.” Alexis sat up in her bed. “I didn’t want it to wake Kyla.”

“She’s there with you?” Alexis could hear his surprise.

“Yeah . . .” Alexis said, not sure how much she wanted to tell Brian.

“Thank God!” When she didn’t respond, Brian continued, “It’s okay, Alexis. Jefferson told me everything.”

“Everything?”

“Yeah, don’t sound so surprised. We’ve been friends for a long time.”

“No, it’s not that,” Alexis said turning up the light in her room. “I didn’t think he would say anything to anyone.”

“Why not? He’s hurting, you know.”

“Kyla has a lot more to hurt about.”

“Jefferson is really upset that he brought this kind of pain on her.”

“Well, I think Kyla has a right to be in pain.”

Brian laughed. “Listen to us trying to say who’s suffering the most. What we should be doing is everything in our power to get them back together.”

Alexis’ grin was wide. “I knew there was a reason I liked you.”

“I knew there was a reason you liked me too. Does Jefferson know that Kyla’s with you? He’s been going out of his mind trying to find her.”

“I think so. I tried to get them together this afternoon, but that was a disaster. Kyla is so hurt, she won’t listen to anything.” Alexis sighed. “I don’t know how Jefferson could have done this.”

“Don’t start judging him.”

“I’m trying not to. Whenever I find myself going there, I remember how Jesus dissed the Pharisees because they were so judgmental. So, I am not casting stones, but I still don’t understand.”

“Well, Jefferson doesn’t know what hit him. Apparently, Jasmine went after him.”

“Did he tell you what happened?”

“Alexis . . .”

“Okay, I don’t want to know the details.”

Brian gave a light chuckle. “Don’t worry. They’ll make it through this. They love each other.”

“And they both know the Lord.”

“Which is the most important ingredient for any successful relationship,” Brian said.

“Amen.”

“That’s why our relationship is going to work.”

Alexis was glad that he hadn’t said that to her in person where he would’ve been able to watch her blush and see her knees go weak.

When she remained silent, Brian continued, “So, what do you think we can do?”

“I’m going to keep working on Kyla. You make sure Jefferson doesn’t give up.”

“Don’t worry about that. Jefferson will never give up. And there’s another thing we can do,” Brian said.

“What?”

“Pray.”

Alexis sank into her pillows and smiled as she listened to Brian’s plan. He told her that he had already prayed for the Blakes, but that the two of them should develop a prayer of agreement. He asked her to turn to Matthew 16:19, which she did, even though she already knew the scripture. Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
