She looked over her shoulder and noticed C.J.’s smile. She had a feeling that with him around they’d never want. Then again, even if he never offered a penny, God would be with them, watching them. If God could save them, He could guide them, too.
“It’s not what I put my faith in, it’s

I put my faith in,” she said.
Tenderly, Quentin looked into her eyes. “’Sure and steadfast by Thy side.’ That’s from a hymn my mother often sang. It was her favorite line.” He smiled tenderly. “It was my brother’s favorite line, too.…” Quentin’s voice choked up. “I’d like to think he’s singing that now with the angels as we speak.”
“I have a feeling he is.” Amelia offered a sad smile. “I have a feeling he is.”
Tears filled her eyes as she thought of Damien. He’d been so stubborn … so, so stubborn. He’d worked so hard to do everything right … and in the end he’d done exactly that.

Verse 1
Place: Park
Scene: Dark
Silv’ry Moon is shining through the trees,
Cast: Two,
Me, you,
Sound of kisses floating on the breeze;
Act one: begun,
Dialogue “Where would ya like to spoon?”
My cue: with you,
Underneath the silv’ry moon.
Chorus
By the light, of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon,
To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune.
Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June.
Your silv’ry beams will bring love’s dreams,
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon,
By the silvery moon.
Verse 2
Act two.
Scene: new.
Roses blooming all around the place.
Cast: three
You, me,
Preacher with a solemn looking face.
Choir sings, bell rings,
Preacher: “You are wed forever more”
Act two, all through.
Ev’ry night the same encore.
(Repeat chorus)
