Chapter 22

Pastor Greg was greeting at the front door again before the second service. As Awsty approached the entry, she could see there was no way to avoid him. She was already upset over Mason refusing to sit next to her, then plowing her over into that woman, so she wasn’t in any mood to be in anyway pleasant with anyone.

When Pastor Greg took her hand to shake and welcome her, she was aggravated that he didn’t know who she was.

“Hi, I’m Pastor Greg. We’re glad you’re here this morning. Is this your first time…”

“Thanks. And, no, I’m not a first-timer. We’ve already been through an introduction last week. My Grammy introduced us. I’m Awsty. Awsty Truesdale.”

She didn’t wait for a response, nor reaction from Pastor Greg. She rather brusquely pulled her hand from his and walked past him into the sanctuary.

His mouth was open, but he didn’t realize it. He kept watching the pretty young woman with whom he’d just had a not-so-friendly exchange.

“Awsty… that’s right. Awsty Truesdale. That was Awsty Truesdale?!” He looked around himself to see if anyone had heard him.

Although he was able to resume his greetings to those who entered, Pastor Greg’s mind kept wandering to a very pretty young woman, so unlike the gothic scarecrow of last Sunday, who had just moments ago looked like she wanted to punch his lights out.

All afternoon Mason was distracted from his studies. Actually, his distraction started well before lunch, at which he barely picked. He was spending the day at his parents’ home, so that he could help them with food and set up the dining room buffet in anticipation of that evening. However, the truth was, he was almost no help of any substance in the set up. All he could think about was how badly things had gone with Awsty this morning. He wasn’t used to people not liking him. He just didn’t know how to cope. It had nothing to do with the person, just that she didn’t like him.

Oh… who was he kidding?! It was all about her. Why didn’t she like him?! He’d bent over backwards trying to befriend her. And, for crying out loud, did she think he ran into her on purpose?! It was an accident! Geez!

And, to top things off, she was probably going to show up with Ben at the get together that evening!

Mason stomped around and grumbled most of the afternoon, until his mom finally told him he was welcome to go back in his dad’s study and do some schoolwork for a while. She didn’t say it out loud, but Mason’s behavior reminded her of his sometimes fitful teen years, and she’d be glad to have him out of her hair for a while.

Why was he so out of sorts? Did he and Geneva have a falling out? She hoped he hadn’t hurt her feelings or something! Not that there was any love lost between she and Geneva.

Geneva was polite and friendly enough, but she could never be accused of having a personality that was warm and fuzzy.
