“You need a new wife, and I’ve decided maybe God picked out Ms. Ellie to be her.”

Ellie couldn’t look at Quinn—not until the memory faded of that moment in the meadow when she’d thought he was going to kiss her.
“Kristie, none of us knows what God intends,” she finally said.
Kristie grabbed her hand. “But don’t you like my daddy, Ms. Ellie?”
She willed her voice to be steady. “Of course I do. But that doesn’t mean I’d be the right wife for him. That’s something you have to let your daddy decide.” But in spite of her words, she prayed Quinn would. Because she’d begun to fall in love with him.
