Chapter Eleven

Ginny couldn’t believe it.

Six weeks had passed since the town planning meeting. Six weeks since Kathryn left. Six weeks since an intruder had broken into Ginny’s house.

And nothing had happened. Nothing bad, anyway.

Ginny’s home had remained secure. Kade’s investors had sent the money they’d promised and then stayed out of his way. Bruce hadn’t spread any rumors or confronted either of them.

She stood on the hilltop overlooking Kade’s land at Clearwater Lake. The air was cool this early summer morning. The sun shone overhead, turning the surface of the lake a dark blue. A few fishing boats cut through the still waters, far enough away that she could barely hear their motors from here. The only other sounds were the rustle of the breeze in the trees, the chirping birds, and the low murmur of voices behind her.

In a moment, she would return to the gathering crowd. Right now, she was content to breathe in the beautiful day and wonder at her good fortune.

She’d given up trying to find out where the money in that duffel bag belonged and put the whole ugly business out of her mind. She’d worked on her real estate business and helped Kade get his development going.

The best thing about the previous six weeks, the thing that had made them the most wonderful six weeks of her life, was the time she’d spent with Kade.

Six weeks before, she’d worried she might be falling for him. Well, she was still on the descent and loving every minute of it.

She’d even taken to going to church with him. Between church and Bible study and all that Samantha and her friends had taught Ginny, she felt like she was finally beginning to grasp this whole God thing.

Maybe He wasn’t just some force that had set the world in motion then stepped away. For the longest time, she’d believed God had left His power on the planet for people to learn to wield. Not for bad, of course, but she’d had these ideas about the power of thoughts, the power of belief.

Those things were true. But they were true because God was real and working and powerful.

Not only that, but she was coming to understand that no force on the planet, weak or strong, was without allegiance. The spiritual realm wasn’t comprised of neutral beings willing to do the bidding of humans who called upon them.

No, the spiritual world was comprised of benevolent forces versus sinister forces, good versus evil.

At least that’s what the Bible said. And Ginny was
