“I think it’s time you come clean.”
Her hands continued to shake.
Wilder’s eyes softened as he led her to the table and into a chair. She didn’t want this—this feeling of needing him. But part of her relished that he was here. Protecting her. It wrapped around her heart and caressed it until it was warm and pliable. No. She closed her eyes. She would not let herself react this way to him.
“Cosette?” Wilder sat across from her, leaned forward on the table. “Did he hurt you?”
“No. I think I scared him. Interrupted him.”
“Interrupted him doing what?” His voice was low and icy.
“Drawing that heart. Sifting through my things.” She couldn’t stop shaking.
Wilder got up from the table and pulled her into his powerful arms. “How long has this been going on?”
Cosette couldn’t keep this a secret any longer. Wilder would lose all faith in her when he discovered the truth that she wasn’t the put-together professional he thought her to be. “The first time or this time?”
Wilder stiffened.
I have enjoyed writing this series, especially Wilder’s story. From the beginning, I knew he was going to be a complicated character, but one I believe many of us can relate to. To feel comfortable, he has to control every situation and outcome. When he can’t, he feels weak and afraid. The truth is, none of us have supreme control and we have to rest in the knowledge that God alone does. And I think that boils down to the trust factor. Do we truly trust Him in all situations? Can we trust Him to work everything out for good? Can we trust Him when the reports are bad? I encourage you (and myself) to spend some time in prayer and ask God to help us see areas where we can surrender to Him and trust Him to see the outcome through—then trust Him with that outcome!
