By the end of the week, the small group had grown to six adults, one child, and three dogs. Noon had become the focus for many, even on days when clouds threatened.

Janis stood suddenly at the sight of a police car. “We haven’t done anything wrong, have we?” Panic laced her shrill voice.

“Not that I know of, Janis,” Trevor said.

The scout car come to a stop and a lone officer emerged. Trevor recognized Marty and waved. “Relax, he’s a friend of mine.”

Chief Mallory walked up to the group of people clustered around the single wooden picnic table. “Afternoon, folks. Trevor, Christine. I’m glad to see you up and around again, Trevor.”

“Hi, Marty. These are our neighbors and new friends,” Christine said. “We’ve been meeting now for almost a week at noon every day, just to talk and know we’re not alone.” She looked over at Janis and smiled, then introduced everyone.

“I’m glad I was the one who came to check out the complaint,” Marty said.

“Complaint?” Trevor echoed. “About us using the park?”

“Someone, who is undoubtedly watching us right now, called concerned about the ‘crowd of people’ having a meeting of some kind here,” Marty laughed.

“May the Lord open their hearts and their eyes, and perhaps join us,” Seth said. “We are open to anyone, Chief, and we certainly are not up to any mischief. We just needed fellowship.”

“I can see that, sir, and you are obviously not breaking any curfews.” Marty touched the edge of his cap and left.

The wind picked up and tossed some fallen leaves around. The air was moist with pending rain and clouds hid the midday sun. The group said their farewells and everyone went home.
