Chapter 3

“Do you know what she looks like?” Andrew asked. He sounded half irritated and half anxious.

They sat at the outdoor patio of the small cafe along a busy street. Children's voices called out from the play area just beside them. They didn't improve Angela's anxious mood one bit.

“She said she would be wearing a bright red sweater,” Angela said. “Besides, she knows what I look like. Mom and Dad sent her a picture of me a few years ago. Just after I graduated college.”

Andrew let out another huff and crossed his arms over his chest. It was the second time he’d done that in the past half hour.

"She's late," he said.

"I know," Angela answered testily. "Just give her time.

“I still can’t believe, after all, these years, she’s never gotten in touch with you,” he said.

“I’m sure there’s a reason,” Angela replied absently. She kept her eyes peeled on the road down the street that led to the cafe.

She tried as hard as she could not to allow her nerves to get the better of her. All the same, she jumped when she felt her phone vibrate inside her purse.

Taking a deep breath, she took the phone out of its case and read the message beneath the name ‘Faith’.

“What does it say?” Andrew asked.

“She says she’s running a little late,” Angela answered. “She should be here in about ten minutes.”

They waited fifteen minutes before the woman in the bright red sweater moved towards them. Though Angela could tell, with a jolt in her stomach, that the bright colored top would not have been necessary. She would have known her birth mother by their similarity alone.

Faith Garber stood within an inch of Angela’s height. They shared the same dark hair, the same green eyes, and the same stocky build.

The only difference between the two women, aside from a few extra wrinkles on Faith’s face, indicating her age, was the harried expression Faith wore as she walked towards them.

“Sorry I’m late,” she said with a weary-sounding huff. “Isabell here insisted on coming too. I hope you don’t mind.”

It was only when the name was mentioned that Angela looked from her and saw the small girl with black hair and green eyes standing shyly behind her mother. She looked to be about six or seven years old. And, Angela realized with another jolt that this girl, Isabell, looked exactly like she had at that age.

“Not at all,” Angela said finally, shaking herself. “It’s just good to finally meet you. I’m Angela.”

She gave what felt like a very forced and awkward smile as she stood and looked at the woman in front of her. She extended her hand which Faith took with a gracious smile.

Before she could say anything to Angela in greeting, Andrew stepped towards them.

“I’m Andrew,” he said, authoritatively extending a hand to Faith. “I’m Angela’s husband.”

“It’s good to finally meet you too,” Faith said shaking Andrew’s hand and moving her gaze to Angela. “You can call me Faith.”

Angela tried to say something more to this but, found that she could do nothing more than nod.
