“Absolutely. It'd be an honor.”
Saying a quick thank you, Josh scribbled his name across the front of a program the youth sheepishly handed over. Autograph delivered, Josh started to move away.
“Hey, Mr. Andrews? Good luck in rehab. They say it was a nasty injury to your arm and might keep you off the field at the start of next season.”
Intensity wound through him, determination riding on its heels. “Not if I have anything to say about it. G'night.”
“G'night, sir. Get better. The Lions won't make it without you as QB.”
Yeah, they would, but Josh didn't argue the point. Instead, his attention returned to the stage. Maeve and the girls swept into a concluding series of bows and waves that prompted a level of applause that rocked the theater.
“May the good Lord bless you and keep you,” said Aileen Brewer, “and may He hold you in the palm of His hand until we see each other once again. Good night, everyone, and God bless.”
Maeve and the girls swept into a deep, unison curtsey and his heart filled.
Good for you, Maevie. I always knew you'd make it. We always believed in each other, and our dreams. That belief and those dreams are the only things that could have ever torn us apart.
But that was thenâand his future was now uncertain. Life and a mistimed hit on the gridiron had shown him what he'd lost when he left Westerville behind. God seemed intent upon sending Josh a message about what was most important, and it wasn't football or recovery from an injury.
It was Maeve Kathryn Callahan.
