Chapter 7

Sadie tied the ribbons on Faith's bonnet and kissed her on the nose. The little girl was practically glowing with excitement.

"I look pretty, mama,” Faith spun, showing off her new dress.

"Yes, you do," Sadie agreed. She was nervous about going to church in her new home, but she'd dressed as presentably as she could and drew up her courage.

"I'm gonna be the envy of Calico Falls," Ed spoke, stomping down the stairs in his Sunday best. "I'll be there with the two prettiest girls in the world." He looked handsome, in his black suit and string tie.

Faith giggled and lifted her hands to the man who had changed her life.

Ed scooped Faith up in his arms and smiled at her mother.

"Mrs. Crumps packed us a picnic for after church," he said, gratified when Faith nestled her head on his shoulder.

"Do they always have a picnic after church?" Sadie asked, stepping into the wagon.

"No, but the weather's so fine we thought it would be a nice change."

Ed hefted Faith into the back of the wagon where she settled with her rabbit on a thick quilt.

As they drew closer and closer to town, Sadie felt more and more and more nervous. What would people think of her? How was she supposed to explain her situation, her shame, if someone asked?

She was all too familiar with the way the rumor mill of a tiny town could crush someone.

As they drew near the church, Ed's big hand came to rest over hers where they had been twisting a lace cuff.

"It's a good town, Sadie, and all that matters is that you're here with me."

She lifted her eyes to his handsome face and hoped it was all true.

The service was beautiful and a sense of peace that Sadie hadn't felt in a long time settled over her.

As the pastor said the benediction, people around her turned, smiling at her. Soon parishioners anxious to introduce themselves surrounded her.

She lost track of names and faces, but one thing that remained printed firmly on her heart was the way each person spoke of Ed. Somehow, during the time he had been gone from her life, he had become a part of this little town.
