“Miss Molly, look. I’m wearing my favorite pink ribbon. It’s Pa’s favorite, too.”

Sarah’s gaze skittered around, searching. “I wore it just for him.”

The twins had gotten it into their heads that Ned would show up at church today. CJ wasn’t as confident.

Molly pasted on a cheery smile. “Why don’t we wait inside the tent?”

“No,” Anna said. “I want to wait for Pa here.”

“What if Pa doesn’t come back?” Sarah’s eyes grew wide. “What if, like Mama, he never comes back?”

Anna burst into tears.

Molly pulled the children into her arms. “No matter what happens here today, you will always have me.”

“And you’ll always have me.” CJ looked from one precious face to the other, his resolve growing. These girls were his responsibility now.

He risked a glance at Molly. He remembered what she’d said earlier. We’re in this together.

Eyes never leaving his, she took Sarah’s hand. CJ reached for Anna’s.

Together, they guided the girls into the tent.
