Chris’s cell phone rang just as he and the other groomsmen finished up their lunch at the hotel. The sound of Adrianne’s voice on the other end brought a smile to his lips right away. He excused himself from the table and took the call outside.

“I’m so glad it’s you,” he said.

He noticed a bit of hesitation in her voice as she responded, “Yeah. I needed to call. We have a lot to work out.”

“Right.” He pondered that for a moment. Had she called with a particular plan in mind, or was she as clueless as he was?

“How long are you in town?”

“I leave tomorrow afternoon for Virginia Beach. Then it’s back to Managua three days later.”

“Oh.”

Was that disappointment in her voice? He hoped so, prayed so. “Are you free today at all?”

“Well, I was actually calling with an invitation.” Her voice seemed to lift a bit with her next words. “Lorelei is in a play at church tonight. She’s singing a couple of solos, actually.”

“Ah.” He grinned. “She is her mother’s daughter, isn’t she?”

Adrianne chuckled. “Yeah. But, to be honest, I haven’t sung in years.”

He couldn’t hide the disappointment from his voice as he said, “That’s a shame.”

“Well,” Adrianne continued on, “in all honesty, she’s far better than I ever was.”

“I doubt that.” Chris couldn’t remember anything clearer— or purer—than the sound of Adrianne’s voice as she sang out to the Lord. He had held on to that memory for eight years now. And her performances back in college had mesmerized plenty of people besides him.

“Well, I guess you’re just going to have to come and hear her for yourself. Then you’ll know I’m telling the truth.”

Chris smiled as he heard the pride in her voice. “Just name the time and place and I’m there.”

“I was thinking I could come by and pick you up after I drop off Lorelei for rehearsal. That way, we could spend a little time talking beforehand.”

His heart quickened. “Sounds good. What time will you be here?”

“Five?”
