The warm, rich smell of coffee filled the car as they drove south. Lily sipped from her cup, completely comfortable in the silence between them. There were a few cars on the road, more than she imagined were usually on the road at this early hour on a Sunday morning. She suspected they were headed to sunrise services of their own. Selfishly, she hoped their “service” really would be just the two of them.

She didn’t think she’d ever skipped church on Easter morning before, but after all, the Bible said where two or three were gathered in the name of Jesus, God was right there with them.

The car wobbled a little and Gage tapped the brakes and set the cruise. They settled in at fifty miles per hour. He looked over at her. “I’m afraid we’re not going to make it to where I was hoping to go in time for the sunrise.”

“It’s okay. We can always watch through the windshield.”

“I’m driving as fast as I dare, but I don’t think this spare tire was made for speed.”

“It’s okay, Gage. Really. Better safe than sorry. If you have a flat out here with no spare, I can’t help you.”

“I’ve still got my Triple A card.” He grinned like he’d just won some contest she didn’t know she was participating in.

About twenty minutes past Cape Girardeau, Gage slowed the car, pulled into what looked like a farm field driveway and turned off the car lights. “This isn’t where I had in mind, but I do not want you to have to watch the sunrise from the windshield.”

Lily smiled. It was almost too late. An orange slice of sun sat on the floor of the meadow to the east, growing thicker and brighter by the second.

Gage opened his car door and she did the same. He climbed out and grabbed his guitar and a gray wool blanket from the back seat. “Follow me.”

She almost had to run to keep up with him as he strode across the meadow.

But she’d happily run if it meant more time by this man’s side.
