The tension in Pearl’s neck and shoulders had crept up into the back of her head, and all she wished to do was disengage herself from Silas’s company. After enduring the walk back to the boardinghouse, listening to his prattle about his successful business ventures, she finally excused herself and closed her bedroom door. She slipped into her nightgown and folded the bedcovers back. Lowering herself slowly to her knees, she leaned forward on the bed and clasped her hands. “Dear Lord, it’s been quite a day. I don’t have to tell You about this pain in my heart that won’t leave me alone. But I don’t know how to make it stop other than asking You to take it away.

“Lord, folks are talking, as folks are prone to do, but I’m not used to being the topic of conversation. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything I can do about that either, so I’ll leave the gossipers to You.

“I’m not sure what to make of Silas being here. He says he has business here, and I’m asking You to help him finish whatever his business is so he can leave.” Pearl sighed and shook her head. “I don’t mean to tell you what to do, Lord. I’m sure You have a plan for Silas being here. You are a God of second chances and maybe that’s what You’re asking me to do where Silas is concerned. But I have no feelings for Silas. Never did. How can I do that when Hubert occupies my heart?” She felt an immediate check in her spirit. Was the Lord cautioning her about Silas’s intentions or allowing Hubert to remain steadfastly in her heart?

She ended her prayer and slipped into bed, but despite her weariness, sleep remained elusive. Questions still tarried on her mind and images of Hubert lingered in her very soul.
