His throat ran dry. His mind blank. He was good at reading people, his job hinged on it. But right now the emotion on Sadie’s face was beyond his comprehension—some kind of resolute confidence. It stirred up something lost in him, made him crave something he couldn’t name.

“Do you pray, Archer?”

Well, that explains it.

He felt a sharp jab of sadness when he admitted, “Not in a long time.”

The information was processed slowly, without a hint of judgment. “Would you mind if I did? It’s what I always do when I’m at a crossroads.”

He couldn’t look away, and he definitely couldn’t speak, so he nodded. Sadie extended her tiny hand in the space between them and he threaded his fingers through hers, the simple touch more stimulating than seemed reasonable for hand holding. She bowed her head and closed her eyes. Breaking protocol, Archer just kept staring.

Her voice was soft and smooth, like a healing balm. And then she prayed, so simply, like she was talking to someone in their midst.

Something shifted, and suddenly his heart was beating too fast. Too heavy. A blip of life blinking into the bludgeoned mass that had become a numb and faithless void. God, she was magnificent. Completely untouched by cynicism. Completely and entirely guileless and genuine. It should have been awkward, maybe even sanctimonious. But it wasn’t. It was real. The most honest moment of his life. Right here on a small sun-warmed cement stoop, the light slowly fading to gray, this stunningly beautiful woman with an unguarded heart and enough faith to move a mountain.
