uNow that sounds like something Brandon would say," Sunny said affectionately.

"I can believe that. Our beliefs are quite similar. They match the beliefs of my father and grandfather-men who believed their faith needed to be handed down to each generation." He hesitated and then went on softly. "And you, Sunny, what do you believe?**

"I'm not sure I believe that you have to believe anything, but I know some things I don't believe. I don't believe that there is just one God. God comes in many forms, and each one of us must decide which God we want to worship, or possibly not believe in any God at all.

"I don't think any man has the right to tell someone else how to act or live. No one should have that type of authority." "If no man has the right, my dear, then who does?" Sunny looked at him hi confusion, and then her face cleared. "Well, there have to be laws about murder and such, but not for other, more personal things."

"Does Rand have the right to tell Holly no?" "Yes."

"Who gave him the right?" "Well, he's her fether."

"So what? That doesn't give him the right to deny her something unless he has an authority that backs up his position as her parent."

Again Sunny looked uncertain and then said softly. "You're talking about the Bible."

"Yes, I am. Even parental authority comes from God, and not just any God, but the one and only living, holy God of the Bible. Your not believing in the one true God doesn't change the feet that He exists."

His words were spoken in such tenderness that Sunny did not feel rebuked. She did feel somewhat confused. What if there really was just one God? Before this moment she had never let her mind even entertain such a belief. There was certainly more to the Bible than she had ever realized, if her family was to be believed.

"Don't take my word for it, Sunny," the duke went on, cutting into her intense thoughts. "When you get home, ask Chelsea for a Bible and read the first book. Genesis means beginnings, and I think you might enjoy reading about how perfectly God planned things."

Sunny nodded and smiled at him. The duke reached with a weathered hand and gently patted her cheek. A moment later they were joined by Andrea and Holly.

"Young Lord Townsend is here, your Grace."

"Jordan?" Holly spoke with pleasure.

"Yes, my lady."

"He'll probably want to freshen up," Andrea interjected for the duke. "But please ask him to join us for tea, Parks, just as soon as he's able."

"Very well, my lady."

No one seemed to take notice, but Sunny suddenly had a piece of sandwich in her throat that did not want to go down. Jordan was here. What would she do? She recognized the feet that she wanted to see him again, but she had somehow believed she would have more time to prepare herself.

In truth, she had exactly five minutes before Jordan walked into the large salon, as tall and good-looking as he had been the day before.
