“Thanks for letting me read this,” Douglas remarked to Conner on Sunday morning when he returned the letter before services. “It’s good to hear that your niece is out of the woods.”

“Isn’t it? She’s been on my mind a lot. Dalton and Susie too,” Conner said, mentioning his sister-in-law.

“Maybe he’ll come and visit,” Douglas suggested. “I thought he hinted at that.”

Conner smiled. “A surprise visit. He’s not very subtle, is he?”

Douglas laughed and asked, “How is it going with Reese?”

Conner’s eyes got large. “She’s moved from fear to defiance. If I even look at her, that chin comes up. If I was a man spoiling for a fight, I’d know just where to go.”

“Good,” Douglas surprised him by saying.

“Why is it good?”

“Because that’s a little more normal. Reese is not afraid of much.”

“So you often find her contentious?”

“No, not really, but Reese doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and she can’t stand to be treated like one. If ever you underestimate her, you might find yourself being told where you’ve gone wrong.”

“I sure ended up in trouble over not wanting her to work this week, and she didn’t have to say a word.”

Douglas had to smile, having heard the entire account. “I understand she was at my house.”

Conner shook his head, thinking he’d been completely blind that day.

“She even made us a pie when she came back. Now is that forgiveness or not?”

It was time for Douglas to check on his family and get up front. Smiling all the while, he reached up to put a warm hand on Conner’s shoulder, giving it a squeeze before moving on his way.
