Logan double-checked the materials in the back of his truck against the list on his clipboard and smiled in satisfaction.

This was either going to be the best day he’d had since he’d returned to Whispering Pines or it was going to be a complete disaster. Over the past six weeks of training Rufus with Judah, he’d gotten much more comfortable with Molly, and, he thought, she with him.

God had given Logan an opportunity far beyond what he could ever have imagined where spending time with Molly was concerned. He definitely couldn’t have orchestrated anything remotely as good on his own.

And he’d thought sneaking in to clean out the dog run every evening had been clever.

It was a good start. He was still doing that particularly unpleasant task as promised. Molly had gotten her cast off the day before, but he thought he’d give her a few extra days to completely heal before she took back her chore. He didn’t find the same relaxation in it as Molly evidently did, but he’d made a commitment to this and he was standing by it.

In the meantime, the four of them—Molly, Logan, Judah and Rufus—were meeting every weekday morning to further the relationship between Judah and Rufus. And things were going wonderfully in that regard. It was as if Rufus had been made for Judah’s specific issues. He sensed Judah’s moods and knew just what to do to calm him down.

What he didn’t know, Molly taught him. She was every bit as patient with the puppy as he imagined she was with the children she taught in class. The only person who ever appeared to flip her switch was Logan.

Logan hoped he was furthering his relationship with Molly in a good way, but every time he thought they might be starting to make progress, she would pull back.

She was friendly enough, but she treated him as if he was just any other client, not someone to whom she’d once been almost ready to commit her life.

He had to admit he was getting frustrated with her. Yes, what he’d done to her had been horrible, but he’d asked for and received God’s forgiveness a long time ago. He’d asked Molly for her forgiveness as well, but with a woman it was much more complicated.

Their history was always going to be standing between them, staring him in the face. Even if by some measure of grace, she’d forgiven him—and he wasn’t completely sold on that idea as of yet—she would never be able to forget what he’d done. She’d be reminded of it every time she looked at Judah for the rest of her life.

Surely she could see he wasn’t the same man he had been back then. He hadn’t even been a man, but a stupid boy who’d acted out irrationally in his anger and then found himself in an impossible situation.

And he’d had many hard years since then to learn his lesson.

But no matter what, he wasn’t giving up on convincing Molly he could be trusted.
