Chapter 33
Brent followed Sammyup the steps and into the church building. She seemed so proud to have him along, and that made him feel pretty good about himself.
She’d made it clear that he didn’t have to get here this early, but he’d been so excited to see her that he’d decided, why not sit through a music team practice? He wanted to be part of her life now, all of it.

“Oh wow. And you drive all the way here for church?” Bucksport was more than an hour from Hartport.

Jake laughed and mimed zipping his lips shut.
Brent glanced at Sammy, who was trying not to laugh.
“We should pray,” Harry said abruptly. “Yeah, yeah, let’s pray. I think we really need prayer.”
