Chapter Thirteen

Jamie

You should figure out what you want, too.

Days later, Adam’s words continued to haunt her. Because as much as she tried to spin and think her way out of it, the answer to the question of what she wanted was simple: she wanted Chase.

It wasn’t really that simple of course, and she envied Adam for being able to think about the world in such black and white terms. Yet she understood because the two of them were raised with the unshakeable belief that if you wanted something badly enough, you just worked towards it, and it would be yours. This was probably true in school, or even in your career. But in matters of the heart, wanting something, or someone was only half of the equation.

In the end, the solution to her problem came from her eighty-five year old grandmother’s housewarming gift, and it was fitting that it was a prayer. Brooding on the kitchen counter, her eye fell on the framed, well worn, hand-embroidered cloth that had hung in her grandmother’s kitchen since Gloria Cameron was a young bride:

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,

the courage to change the things I can

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Jamie touched the frame lightly as if she could derive some comfort from her grandmother there. It was old-fashioned and from another era. But somehow, it gave her the answer she was looking for.

Chase walking out of her life was a fact. Should she accept it, or did she have the courage to try to change that fact? Jamie remembered when Chase had swallowed his pride to come after her. Now it was her turn.
