“Are the kinder okay?”
Uncomfortable with his small intrusion into her family, Carolyn said, “Kevin had a bad dream and woke us up.”
“Because of the rain?”
“It’s possible.”
“Rebuilding a building is easy. Rebuilding one’s sense of security isn’t.”
“That sounds like the voice of experience.”
Michael sighed. “My parents died when I was young, and both my twin brother and I had to learn not to expect something horrible was going to happen without warning.”
“I’m sorry. I should have asked more about you and the other volunteers. I’ve been wrapped up in my own tragedy.”
“At times like this, nobody expects you to be thinking of anything but getting a roof over your kinder’s heads.”
He didn’t reach out to touch her, but she was aware of every inch of him so close to her. His quiet strength had awed her from the beginning. As she’d come to know him better, his fundamental decency had impressed her more. He was a man she believed she could trust.
She shoved that thought aside. Trusting any man would be the worst thing she could do.
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden.
—Galatians 6:2–5
