Draw me closer

Let me see You

Draw me closer

Let me hear You

Draw me closer

Let me touch You

I want to know You

Draw me closer, always

She knew the You in the lyrics referred to Jesus. But exactly how was she supposed to see and hear and know and touch Him? Did Michael and the others in the room honestly think they could do such a thing?

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Natalie remained seated after they were dismissed from the meeting. Michael had left the stage during Ted’s prayer to end the group’s time together, and she hadn’t seen where he went. After a few minutes she excused herself from Allison and the others to seek him out. Not seeing him anywhere on the main floor, she decided he must have gone downstairs to change. Heading up to her room, she changed into warmer clothing for their date, and then returned to the main room once again.

Allison, Jen, and Laurie were sitting in the same place she had left them, laughing and chatting. She scanned the room for Michael but still did not see him. Suddenly she felt nervous. What if he forgot? Do I look like a complete idiot standing here in this warm room with a turtleneck and this thick fleece pullover on? Her coat was draped over one arm, and she decided to place it over the back of a chair, then began wandering the house, trying not to look too conspicuous.

“I’ll go grab a flashlight and meet you out front.”

He stepped to the door leading to the hall, and she headed for the main room to retrieve her coat. She met Allison in the doorway of the kitchen.

“There you are,” she said. “I thought maybe you went to bed.”

“No,” she replied. “I’m still up.”

“Great! Do you want to play Guesstures with us?”

“No thanks,” she said. “I hate charades.”

“Oh, come on. It will be fun. We all make fools of ourselves.”

“Thanks, but I have something else I want to do.”

“What?” she asked, taking in her attire.

Natalie didn’t know what to say and felt a bit annoyed Allison was being so nosy.

“You aren’t going for a walk, are you? It’s pitch black out there.”

“Shh!” she said, starting to giggle. Not wanting Allison’s loud voice to be heard by anyone else and attract attention, Natalie decided to level with her. After
