Seth looked at his wife as she lay next to him. He couldn’t fathom the pain she had been through, but he was fairly certain he had only gotten a glimpse of it. He didn’t know if he’d ever hear the whole story.

But he did know that the Lord gave back. That God was capable of restoring the lost years, capable of healing the pain. And he knew that he was part of that giving back to Grace.

He was determined to be part of it.

“Grace,” he whispered, “I want to help make your life better. To give you joy and peace. It doesn’t matter to me if we never have another child. I want you to be healed.”

“I know. I believe that of you.” Her lips quivered as she managed a faint smile. “But I don’t know how to do that—to be healed.”

“You can’t heal yourself,” he said. “Only der Herr can do that. And I have to tell you the truth, Grace. So long as you let him, Silas Beiler is going to be a ghost between us—a ghost that I can’t fight.”

She began to cry, and Seth moved closer to gather her in his arms. “Please don’t cry, sweetheart. That’s not what I want.”

She looked up at him, her violet eyes flooding with tears. “Don’t tell me that everything will be fine if I just let Silas go. You don’t understand. You’re perfect, whole; I am flawed and damaged.”

He moved closer to stroke her hair. “Grace, I dreamed of you the night before our wedding. I slept under a quilt called Bachelor’s Choice. The legend is that when a man sleeps under it, he’ll dream of the woman he’s to marry. And I dreamed of an Amish woman with pansy-colored eyes, porcelain skin, and black silky hair that was short, so short. That confused me, but in that dream, as I tried to hold you, something sinister rose up from the ground and came between us.”

He moved his hand to her shoulder and then to cover her heart. “I know you are troubled inside. Let me help. Please.”

Without warning she slipped an arm up behind his back and pressed her mouth against his.

Seth Wyse had kissed any number of girls, but this wasn’t like any of them. It was a simple kiss, just her mouth against his, and it was one of the most intimate things he’d ever encountered in his life. Colors flashed behind his eyes, golden-hued starbursts and green, fertile valleys. He had difficulty focusing from the sheer, stilled exuberance he felt.

Maybe Gott was teaching him a lesson. Because, for the first time in his life, he experienced the true wonder of a kiss.
