Haunted Hearts (6 page)

Her eyes widened. “How…?”

“I’m slow, but I do hear and figure things out. I even know some things you don’t know about yourself.”

“Like what?”

“Like how much God loves you. When you pray, He sends legions of angels to answer.”

“I don’t understand, but it sounds wonderful.” A slight shake of her head made a tendril of hair bounce on her forehead.

“It’s a great story, and I can’t wait to tell you, but we have to take care of first things first.” He led her to the stairs, guided her to the second one up and flipped on the light. Colored lights flowed down over them. Suzy frowned, and started to speak, but once again, he touched her lips and shook his head.

“We need to begin again so I can do it right this time,” he said. “I do know you, and I know exactly what you want. I didn’t put lilies in the wall for any other woman. I did it to please you. I want a gazebo in the garden so I can sit and watch you, counting vegetable plants, round with my baby and a funny, floppy hat on your head…although, I wouldn’t mind a few more sun kisses on your shoulders and nose—I love those freckles. I can see a swing on the porch, with you and me in it, watching our grandchildren play. Suzy Bennett, will you take my home and make it yours? Will you take my heart?”

“You do know me!” Suzy squealed, jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. “This is exactly what I wanted the first time I saw you.”

Scott’s laughter surrounded them as he spun.

“Can you forgive me for not realizing it sooner?”

“We decided a long time ago, you’re already forgiven,” Suzy whispered. And then her lips touched his.
