“Oh?”

He smiled. “When God is in control, things work out.

And God has some special plans for Chase.”

As they left, Dakota turned to Meghan. “Do you still believe in miracles?”

“So, like Chase, my dear love, God is in control and has some special plans for us,” Dakota said, smiling at her.

Meghan leaned up and touched her lips to his cheek.

“That sounds intriguing. I can’t wait to find out what they are.”

“Well, it all started when He brought you to me,” Dakota said and returned the gentle kiss.

“No, my love, it started when He brought me home to you.”
