God's love. Will she accept God's forgiveness and more importantly, will she
forgive herself?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
The
delicate paper menu held only a few choices, and my eyes widened at the prices.
I should have thought to ask where we were going before I agreed. I didn’t have
the money to spend so much on dinner, especially since Peter had moved out and
money was much tighter. My heart thudded in my chest as I quickly scanned for
the cheapest item on the menu; even the side salad was nearly fifteen dollars.
How do people afford this? Well, the salad comes with bread and a bowl of soup,
so at least it should be enough to fill me up.
The
waiter, clad in a white dress shirt and perfectly pressed black pants, appeared
just as I laid the menu down. “Have we had enough time?” he asked politely,
glancing at each of us before focusing his attention on Philip, who took the
lead in ordering.
“Yes,
we’ll have two glasses of your finest red wine and two plates of the steak and
lobster, grilled medium well.” He handed his and Raquel’s menus to the waiter.
“Very
well,” the waiter nodded and turned his attention to me.
I
swallowed. “Um, I’ll have the side salad and the tomato soup.”
The
waiter cocked his head. “Will that be all miss?”
My
face flushed, and just as I was about to answer, Henry jumped in. “Yes, and the
same for me please.” He handed our menus to the waiter.
The
waiter nodded. “Yes, sir, and anything further to drink?”
Henry
glanced at me; I shook my head. “No, water will be adequate for now, thank
you.”
As
the waiter turned away, I regarded Henry. Who was this man, and why was he
being so nice to me? He caught me staring and shot me a small wink as he picked
up a piece of bread.
