“Oh, so you think that’s funny. Is that why you’re laughing?”
Micah wasn’t interested in Susannah, and she certainly wasn’t interested in him—not that way. They were just hanging out together, helping him through a tough time until he was able to return home.
She’d do well to keep that thought front and center.
When he returned and presented her with the shoe, she grabbed it from him with a curt “I’m going to get even for this.”
But his response was a mere whisper that sent goose bumps down her arms. “You look awfully pretty in the moonlight, Susannah Beiler.”
Which set off every emotional alarm she possessed.
Was he flirting with her?
What was she doing standing in the moonlight with Micah Fisher? She was supposed to be keeping an eye on him—keeping him out of trouble.
Micah said, “Let me gather up our stuff. Then we can walk back by the road. It’ll give our clothes time to dry off a bit.”
But a small part of her wished the night could go on and on...
Have you ever felt defined by the things that have happened to you? It might be a disease or disability. It might be something from your past. It might be a mistake that you made.
Susannah Beiler has gone through cancer diagnosis and treatment. Now she is well, but she feels less than whole. She feels as if people see a cancer survivor instead of the woman she’s become. More than that, she’s afraid to dream or plan for the future. She tries to be happy in the present and grateful for what she’s been given.
Micah Fisher has been coddled all his life. It’s not his fault that he’s the youngest sibling and only boy in a family of eight children. Life has taught him that it’s okay to go with the flow, that each day is to be enjoyed. He doesn’t understand the point of rules, and he wishes everyone would lighten up a little.
Susannah and Micah seem to be set on a collision course, but instead they develop a friendship—and eventually a love—that neither expected. Life can be like that sometimes—surprising. As for their future, God isn’t finished with either of them yet, in the same way He isn’t finished with you or with me.
