As she traced her finger along the edges, Faith thought back to when they first had put them there. They had wanted their relationship to stand the test of time, like all the other sets of initials which sprinkled the tree’s trunk.

It had become an unofficial tradition for couples to sneak into the church courtyard at night. They would make promises of how they would love each other forever, under the covers of the moonlight and twinkling stars. Life was simple before the war broke out in America. Everything changed in Myrtle Grove because of it, and now, she wasn’t even sure if her relationship with Nathan would survive.

“I remember when we carved those.”

Faith glanced over her shoulder, but avoided making eye contact with Nathan, still hurt from his earlier behavior. She didn’t want to reminisce with him after the way he treated her.

“My parents are ready to go. We should head over to them,” Faith stated as she moved towards the pathway which led from the church grounds.

Nathan stretched out his hand and stopped Faith from leaving. “I’m sorry about the way I acted. You didn’t deserve my mistreatment. Coming home has proven more difficult than I had expected and I haven’t been handling it well.” He pulled her towards him and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Will you please forgive me?”

Faith gazed into his eyes and saw the sincerity of his plea. She couldn’t stay angry at him, even if she had wanted to. Nodding, she stated, “You know I will. I love you.”

“And I love you, too.” Letting her go, he leaned against the tree as he glanced over at Hope. “What were you two talking about?”

“She asked if we would come over today for dinner.”

“What was your answer?”

“Under the circumstances, I thought it would be best if we declined the invitation.”

She could tell by his expression he was contemplating what to do. After a few seconds ticked by, he shrugged. “If it’s important to you, we can go over.”

Her eyebrows shot up in surprise. “You would be all right with going?”

“Consider it my peace offering,” he stated with a grin.

Faith smiled back at him. “Thank you. Let me go tell Hope.”

Grateful for the turn of events, she knew it was a sign from God to not give up on Nathan. If he was willing to do something that made him uncomfortable just to make her happy, then he was trying to make things right between them. The least she could do is make the same effort in return.
