Chapter Fourteen

This was really happening, just like in her dreams. Only this was better.

Jules had never dreamed that her dream man would be so handsome. That his hands would be so soft and firm at the same time. That simply standing next to him would make her feel both powerful and docile at the same time.

She felt a twinge of guilt that her sister wasn't here to witness this. They'd done everything together since they were born. But there had been that hour where Romey had gotten a head start on her. And there was also the possibility that sensible Romey would've tried to talk her sixty-minute-younger-sibling out of this. And there was no way Jules wasn't going forward with this.

"They say that sometimes opposites attract," said Pastor Vance. “I think the reality is that the two forces weren't as opposite as once was initially believed.”

He leaned against the pulpit, looking out of the window at the night’s sky rather at the two of them. Jules wasn’t entirely sure the man was still aware of their presence.

This was Jules’s first time in the church. She was far from an atheist. At a young age, her parents had given her and her sister a stack of holy books. Part of their homeschooling was to read them all and make their own decisions. The project included papers, presentations, and a test at the end. Romey’s final answer was that God was found in the perfection of nature, while Jules declared that God was love.

“I've found that the happiest couples are rarely the same to outward appearances,” Pastor Vance was still philosophizing. Or was he preaching? He might’ve started the proceedings to marry them. “They are the same on the inside, and that's where you find that you best understand each other's differences."

Outwardly, she and David did appear different. He was a soldier. She was a modern-day flower child. But they'd looked past those differences to the heart of one another and felt an intense attraction.

"Your families are opposites," said Pastor Vance. "Like magnets giving off two negative forces, they repel. But the two of you have turned around and looked at one another to see a different side."

Yes, that was it. They were like magnets. Drawn together, no matter which way you turned them.

David smiled down at her. Like the magnets they were accused of being, he took her hand in his. Jules felt that warmth of electricity zing across her fingertips.

"God is the spark. He's put you two in each other's paths to do His work. I am His servant. Though Lord, I hope you will protect me from my sister."

Once again, Pastor Vance looked up at the ceiling. He let out a long, weary exhale and then made a sign of the cross over his chest. Returning his attention to the couple before him, he gave first Jules and then David a thoughtful gaze. Finally, his face broke into the congenial grin he was known for.

"And now for the vows."

"Wait," said David.
