Carly was ready for church early that night. She checked her coat pocket to make sure she still had the envelope, locked the front doors behind her, and set out, putting the key ring in her pocket. She was so engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't hear Joe calling her. He beeped the horn, causing her to jump.

"Where are you going?" Joe said, getting out of the truck and walking toward her.

"Joe!" she said, smiling weakly, her hand on her chest.

"Don't you want a ride?" he asked, taking her hand and leading her back to the truck. He opened the door and helped her in.

Someone had circled his face, and put an X over it, with the words "Better get rid of the farm boy before he gets hurt!" written above his head.

He picked up the next picture. It was a picture of Carly and Ian eating at an expensive restaurant. The same person had drawn a heart around both of them.

"Turn it over," Carly said quietly. The slight tremor in her voice didn’t escape his notice.

He turned it over. Someone had written in all capital letters:
