Chapter Ten

Laura set aside Sunday to read the remainder of Destiny’s book and to get started on the Tamar novel that the women’s book club would discuss on Tuesday evening. With the past two weeks being so busy, she hadn’t been able to read more than a couple of the love stories in Destiny’s book, but she was already hooked. She fixed a cup of coffee, grabbed a quilt and the book then headed out to the balcony to read.

Most all of the apartments on the square had balconies overlooking the center area, where the three-tiered fountain flowed and a few geese ambled around the wrought-iron benches, where the elderly typically sat with bread. But unlike every other morning of the week, today the square was primarily empty, probably because people were home getting ready for church.

Laura assumed everyone she went to lunch with last Sunday would gather at the Claremont Community Church today, as would David.

She sipped her oversize mug of coffee. The crisp taste instantly reminded her of the lattes she’d shared with him a week ago and that parting comment that had teased her ever since.

She’d hardly been able to sleep for remembering his words and wondering what it would be like to go on a real date with David Presley.

A shiver passed over her, and it had nothing to do with the cold. She focused on the book and tried to tune out the memory of how badly she’d wanted to be kissed. And how he hadn’t even tried. She turned the page and attempted to focus on the next story. It was interesting to read about couples she’d already met in town.

The first story was about Marvin and Mae Tolleson, the older couple who owned the variety store. And she’d read about Mandy and Daniel, learned how they’d started out basically despising one another because both of them wanted to adopt Kaden when his parents passed away. This morning she started into the third story, about Chad and Jessica. Soaking in the pages, Laura learned that Jessica was pregnant with Chad’s baby when she ran away from Claremont as a teen, and she didn’t tell him for six years. The story of how they reunited and how he forgave her for leaving touched Laura’s heart. She thought of adorable little Nathan in the book club and realized that he was that precious baby who finally met his daddy.

Tears trickled down Laura’s cheeks. Her little girls would never have a relationship with their biological father. Jared had made certain she knew that he didn’t want any part of this pregnancy or their lives. But Laura wanted them to have a daddy, eventually.

A steady thumping caught her attention. She wiped the tears away and looked for the source of the noise, growing louder. Then she saw the jogger entering the square from Main Street. David ran steadily down the sidewalk, his tennis shoes producing the pounding she’d heard. Oddly, the even thudding of his shoes reminded her of the sounds she heard at each doctor’s visit, her babies’ heartbeats.
