George coughed. “I’ll go across to get some sugar-free hot cocoa packets. I’ll bring some regular for all you folks.” He headed for the door.
Fin held the sprig of mistletoe toward Evan. “Do you need this?”
Evan looked at Risé. She stood, grabbed the mistletoe from Fin and pulled Evan into the hallway. She laid her head on his chest and wept.
“I’m so happy for your friends. That’s amazing. I know you were hoping for good news.” Evan held her close. “I guess God really answers prayer.”
Risé raised her head and looked at him. “God?”
“Yes, I belong to Him now. I’ve a lot to learn, but I can feel Him, especially when I play.”
“Everyone feels closer to God when you play, Evan. I do, and I believe that’s what I saw on the faces of the guests at the fundraiser.” She handed him the mistletoe.
“Everything is new. You will start nursing school after the break, and I’ll be who-knows-where next fall.” He held the mistletoe over her head.
She stood on her tiptoes and their lips met.
Beethoven’s d minor concerto played in his head. He felt her silky red hair on his face, and the peppermint warmth of her lips. He suddenly knew what it felt like to be at home.
“What now?” she whispered.
“One step at a time.” Evan kissed her again.
