isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.”
                  “How would she do it?” asked Nathan
                  “Nathan, I won’t answer that for you. I can’t really. You’ll have to ask her yourself.”
                  “I will. When is she coming home?”
                  Jeremy started to answer but Leah stopped him. “Nathan, after the next time you see her at church, then come to our house. If you show up on our doorstep the day after she gets home, she will know I told you. Please don’t put me in the middle.”
                  “I apologize. It can wait until I see her again, but I will be stopping by for a visit at the first opportunity.”
                  “Anytime. Now where do you want the shelves and then can it wait until after Christmas?”
                  “It can wait as long as it needs too.” He said showing them where he thought he’d like the shelves. After they left he sat down and prayed again. Dear Lord God. Did I figure out the mystery? If I need to ask questions, please help me to ask sensitive questions and not make Faith more uncomfortable around me. She is a kind, caring sister in Christ and I suspect a wonderful friend. In Jesus Name. Amen.”
                   
 
                   
 
                   
 
                  The next Sunday morning, Nathan noticed Faith sitting on the back row next to her brother Jeremy. She was laughing at something he said and she glowed. Wherever she had been on her vacation, she must have spent lots of time in the sun. Nathan had a hard time turning away to focus on the other church members. His Monday schedule was just changed though, he had some questions for Miss Faith Newham.
                  Nathan caught Leah’s eye as he faced her from the front pew. He turned and looked at her sister and then back at her. She had a hard time not laughing but gave him a slight nod. Nathan had to look down at his Bible before he started to laugh also. After a short prayer, he lifted his head again but didn’t look at either Leah or Faith.
                   
 
                   
 
                   
 
                  Monday morning, Leah helped Faith get her clothes matched up as she usually did. Faith could do it by herself but always wanted Leah’s confirmation that she looked okay. Today she knew Faith was going to want to look her best. She didn’t feel it was necessary to warn her sister that Nathan would be stopping by. She just wanted her to look good in case he did. Leah didn’t know if Nathan’s schedule today would allow him to stop by but she anticipated him showing up.
                  Faith was working at reading dozens of emails when the doorbell rang. She ignored it thinking that Leah would get it. After a minute, it rang again.
                  “Hello. Who’s there?”
                  “Nathan Lindstrom”
                  “Leah is back in her workshop. She won’t mind if you go back there.”
                  “Okay thanks.” He agreed. He needed to talk to Leah anyway. Nathan walked around and knocked on the door of the workshop. Leah was laughing as she opened the door. “Hi Nathan, amazing coincidence that you showed up today.”
                  “Stop laughing at me.” he grumbled and laughed at the same time. “She’s beginning to give me an inferiority complex. As soon as I announced my name, she told me you were back here. Not “Hi. How are you?” Just “go see Leah in her workshop”. So here I am. Do I go ask her now?”
                  “If you want answers, you are going to have to. I won’t do it for you.” Leah said. “I’ll announce that you are coming in, but that’s it. So, do you want me to call her?” she said
