CHAPTER 23

By the time Thea returned, Monroe had put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and meatballs simmered on the stove. She had changed into a soft beige V-neck sweater and jeans. Around her neck rested a gold heart-shaped necklace. He wondered who had given it to her, and the twinge of jealousy annoyed him.

She handed him a cheesecake from the deli. “I thought we’d celebrate.”

“Celebrate?” He was confused. Nothing that happened lately was a cause for celebration.

“My telling people about my visions. I’m opening up about my predictions.”

“How many people are you planning to tell that secret?” He didn’t want her to get hurt.

“You, Mom, Dad, Luke, and Hugh.”

“Let’s celebrate.” He got two plates out of the cupboard and cut them each a piece. He handed one to her. “To you, Thea.” He took a bite.

“To us.” She blushed. “I mean to you and to me.” She blushed even more. “You know what I mean.”

Monroe watched her, amused.

She took a bite and looked around his kitchen. “Very modern compared to the outside of the house.”

Forest green, granite counters flanked a huge stainless-steel side-by-side refrigerator. A double stainless-steel sink was set below an eye-level window looking out to the backyard. The emerald green, tan, and white tiles covering the walls between the counter and the light wood cabinets added color. The wood floor coloring matched the cabinets.

“I like to cook,” Monroe said.

“You should talk with my mom. She’s picked up the urge to become a chef. They remodeled their kitchen in the past few months, though I haven’t seen it yet.”

“I plan to talk to your mom and find out all about her daughter.” He stirred the meatballs.

“I don’t think that’s necessary.” She set her plate on the counter and went back to the couch. “I’m going to relax while you finish in there.”

“Okay.”

He was glad for the open floor plan as he watched her sitting on the couch, staring into space. He was starting to like her too much for his peace of mind, he thought, as he went back to stir the sauce for the meatballs to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

He turned off the burner and joined her by the couch.

“Is dinner ready yet? I’m getting hungry, and whatever you’re cooking smells good. Your meal might actually live up to the hype,” Thea joked.

“It’s almost ready. I’m hungry too.”

“I don’t think I’ve sat down to a decent meal for days.”

“Probably not, if you cooked the food.” He tried to lighten the mood as they ate meatballs over Alfredo noodles, drank water, and ate salad, but Thea remained tense and distracted. Finally, he gave up and put down his fork. “Out with whatever’s bugging you. Say it, and you’ll feel better.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

“What if he dies?”

He thought she would say she couldn’t handle thinking about the whole mess of what was going on. He hadn’t given her enough credit. “That’s what’s worrying you? Thea, no one but God can know what’s going to happen. We may be able to make predictions, but only God has the power to influence what actually occurs.
